About this swimming hole
Suwannee Springs is a historic group of sulphur springs on the Suwannee River near Live Oak, managed by the Suwannee River Water Management District. The main spring flows inside a limestone spring house built in the late 1800s, and the district confirms visitors can swim in the springs, picnic, and enjoy the snow-white river sand bars. Sulphur water keeps the temperature in the low 70s year-round.
