Starting just north of the Florida/Georgia border, this paddling trip follows the first half of a designated canoe trail on the Withlacoochee River through Twin Rivers State Forest. The scenery along the trail includes dense forests, sandbars, and clear springs. The river is wide for much of the run with a decent current but there are some sections that are more narrow with a few small rapids. The difficulty of the run does vary depending on water levels as rocky shoals can be an issue during low water levels. The take-out for this run is at Madison Blue Spring State Park which is the site of a beautiful spring that is great for swimming but can be crowded.
