About a quarter mile past the ranger station, a high bluff overlooks the spot where the Withlacoochee River joins the Suwannee River on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Vestiges of history in the park show how important the Suwannee River was to Florida history. Along the river are long mounds of earthworks built during the Civil War to guard against incursions by Union Navy gunboats.

Other remnants from the past include one of the state's oldest cemeteries, and a paddle-wheel shaft from a 19th century steamboat. Five trails, ranging from a quarter mile to 18 miles, loop through surrounding woodlands and provide panoramic views of the rivers. Other activities include fishing, picnicking and canoeing; for overnight stays, the park has a full-facility campground and cabins.

Lot 30 is located directly on the Suwannee River. There are NO DEED RESTRICTIONS at Suwannee River Park Estates. However you would have to follow Suwannee County Building Codes when you start improving the land.
