Woods Ferry to Suwannee Springs, Outing and Hands Across the Sands

Due to low water, we’re moving the May 20th outing downstream! With lunch, swim stops, and bon-bons, of course. Bring bug spray and the usual personal flotation device, boat paddles, food, drinking water, warm clothes, and first aid kit. If you don’t have a boat, there are many outfitters (http://www.wwals.net/water-trails/outfitters/), or let us know and many of us have spare boats.

Two outfitters advise there should be enough water on this route to avoid much boat dragging. There is a slight 30% possibility of afternoon thunder showers. Same date, same time, same river: just a bit downstream.

Directions to Put In: From Live Oak, travel north on US 129 to CR 136A; turn right; travel east to 57 Drive; turn left and continue north to Woods Ferry Path; follow Woods Ferry Path to Woods Ferry Tract Launch.
Do NOT go upstream to Woods Ferry Camp Boat Ramp; we won’t be there!
