    Hiking

    Big Shoals boasts the title of having the largest whitewater rapids in the entire state. When water levels on the Suwannee River reach the perfect range of 59 to 61 feet above sea level, the rapids transform into a Class III adventure. This classification is ideal for experienced kayakers and canoeists seeking an exciting challenge. Even if you're not a whitewater enthusiast, Big Shoals State Park offers something for everyone. There's an observation point where you can witness the power and beauty of the rapids from a safe distance.
