Big Shoals State Park

Big Shoals State Park is located in Hamilton County, Florida, just east of White Springs along the Suwannee River. The park is named for its distinctive feature: the largest whitewater rapids in the state, which are formed by the river's flow over limestone bluffs. This unique geological landscape offers visitors a scenic backdrop and highlights the natural beauty of Florida's rivers. Visitors to Big Shoals State Park can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking on over 28 miles of trails and freshwater fishing. The park is accessible via parking areas, and its remote setting provides a peaceful escape into nature. While the park's features are inviting, it's important to check the official state site for current information on hours, fees, and any potential closures before planning your visit.
