Insider Tips
Getting wet is a great way to keep cool! Parks provide all kinds of opportunities to get wet; lakes, rivers, pools, water slides, and more. Being smart and safe will ensure a great experience. Observe all posted signs that may warn you of certain hazards. You can put yourself and others in danger if you do not know the rules before going into the water.
Most state parks feature water: lakes, rivers, bays, and oceans. If you seek adventure, try padding all or part of the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail, stretching 170 miles from White Springs to the Gulf of Mexico. Outfitters are eager to help with rentals.

Check out paddling events at Caesar Creek and Cowan Lake, or rent a kayak on the calm waters of Lake Hope, Lake Logan, or Burr Oak.

When boating, wear a life vest, whether you are in the water or in the boat. It can make swimming a bit more of a hassle, but it makes waterskiing, wakeboarding, and all other water activities much safer, especially if traveling at high speeds.
