We are camping in Cedar Key from the 15th to the 21st. We have a truck with a canoe rack. We will probably paddle the Suwanee too for a day trip ending at the Anderson Landing Cedar Key is off the lower left hand corner of this map but not far from Chiefland. Suwanee River map Or deliver you on the 16th to launch above Branford. I have that as a short cycling day in Cedar Key.. Whatever you might need. |

My post is to invite anyone who might want to join up and also seek any input from anyone who has done this river. Thanks in advance. |

Feb should be fine for water levels. I prefer March as the cypress starts to leaf out. But Feb ought to be fine.. How many days and what sections will you do? |

I am also realizing later would be better, but this trip is a gift and I will be grateful for what I get. |

I decided to rent one of the outfitter boats as the week of the 20th will be tourist activity in central Florida and then to New Orleans with Sue. I really do not want to drag my boats through all that. I will take pictures and post a report upon return. PS We are spoiled by the service of outfitters around the BWCA. |

quote bhouse46: "Water levels are low on the upper tract so I will likely be entering above Branford. A local is set to meet me at the outfitters in Lake City and transport me to put and then pick me up when I call and coordinate. I was hoping to make it to the Gulf and Anderson Landing for takeout Monday morning. Perhaps we could share some time on the water and thanks for your hospitality. I never paid attention to the 20th week.. must be spring break.. Don't set your expectations on boat too high.. I get that its often easier to rent and discaard..We did that on the Yukon River. We'll probably be out Monday.. Look for two solo boats. |
