About Big Shoals

Home to Florida's largest whitewater rapids, this park on the Suwannee River features Class III rapids when water levels are optimal. Limestone bluffs towering 80 feet above the river provide spectacular vistas found nowhere else in Florida, while 28 miles of trails offer hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
