About this map

The Suwannee River meets the Gulf of Mexico in this coastal reach where the borders of Dixie and Levy counties converge. This environment is defined by the massive Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, protecting a complex network of salt marshes, tidal creeks, and islands. The settlement of Suwannee sits near the river mouth, serving as a hub for local waterways such as Salt Creek and Demory Creek.

Evidence of local history and recreation is found in sites like the Odlund Cem on Goodson Island and the long-distance Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl. Navigational features like Suwannee Reef and Halfmoon Reef out in the Suwannee Sound highlight the maritime character of the region. The landscape transitions from the dense California Swamp to a fragmented archipelago including Hog Island and Palm Island, illustrating the dynamic interplay between the river's freshwater discharge and the sea.
