Troy Spring
Troy Spring meets the Suwannee River, a scenic landmark on longer downriver routes.
Overnight Trips
Pitch a tent on a multi-day river trip.
Overnight trips are available for the Suwannee and North Withlacoochee Rivers, with rentals, drop-offs, pickups, and shuttle support from the Outpost.
Pitch a tent
Bring your own boat or rent from the Outpost.
Whether you have your own boat and just need transportation or you are renting Outpost canoes, the Outpost can help get you on the river. They can drop you off and, if necessary, pick you up.
Canoe rental per day is $50 for trips from 2 to 5 days and $40 for trips more than 5 days. If your trip requires both a drop-off and pickup, both charges apply.
Shuttles to and from Florida State Parks may incur a $5 fee in addition to the shuttle fee.
Branford
Branford Boat Ramp and Spring is a downriver take-out area for longer Suwannee routes.
Long Trip
Sunset on the Suwannee River during a longer trip with more river time and remote scenery.
Potential manatee sightings
Springs, wildlife, and remote water.
Longer downriver trips can reach clear springs and quiet habitat that day trips do not cover. Wildlife sightings, including manatees, are never guaranteed, but more time on the river can create unforgettable moments.
