About the suwannee river


The Suwannee River is a 246-mile-long river located in southern Georgia and northern Florida. It flows from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. The river was named by the Seminole people and has played an essential role in the history of the region. The river is home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Rodman Reservoir, which was built in 1968 for flood control, and the Suwannee Dam, which was built in 1957 for hydroelectric power. The river also supports various recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and camping. Agriculture is also an important use of the river, with farms along the riverbanks growing crops such as corn, soybeans, and peanuts. The Suwannee River is a vital part of the ecosystem in the region, and efforts are ongoing to protect its health and integrity.
