Suwannee County, Florida
Suwannee County is located in the northern part of Florida. The Suwannee River is the same one from the song, and forms its southern border. Live Oak is the county seat. It’s a small town, big heart. Lots of natural springs here and it’s perfect for cooling off in summer.
Suwannee Music Park brings in crowds for festivals. Bluegrass, country, you name it. Farming’s still big so you’ll see tobacco fields and chicken houses. The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park is a local treasure. Kayaking and canoeing are popular on the river.
It’s quiet most of the time. But when a festival hits, it’s a whole different world. Suwannee County is holding onto its rural roots. But change is creeping in. It’s a slice of North Florida that feels more South Georgia sometimes. No beaches, no theme parks. Just genuine Florida charm.
