4298 N.W. County Road 292, Mayo FL 32066
Canoe or kayak tourers running the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail will find this a standout overnight: screened platforms beat a wet tent, the spring-fed slough setting is beautiful at sunrise, and it costs nothing. Reserve early, only five platforms.
No river access means no camp. There's no road in, no overnight vehicle parking, and cell service is essentially unknown out here, so anyone expecting to drive up, stay connected, or bring an RV should look elsewhere on the trail.

The Lake Traverse Project is a multipurpose project located on the Minnesota ? South Dakota border. The project consists of two dams, one dike and two lakes, Traverse and Mud. The main purpose of the project is to control flooding along the northward flowing Bois de Souix River, which joins the Ottertail River to become the Red River of the North. The significant feature of the project is the Browns Valley Dike on the south end of Lake Traverse, keeping it separate from Big Stone Lake. The dike sits on the continental divide, which marks the outlet of Glacial Lake Agassiz. Waters on the north side of the dike flow into Hudson?s Bay, and on the south, waters flow into the Minnesota River and on to the Mississippi River.

Spring offers the most comfortable paddling: daytime highs 70–85°F, nights in the 50s–60s, lower humidity, and stable water levels for easy launches. Migratory birds and blooming wetland flora are prominent, and insect pressure is lighter than summer. Fall and winter are also good, with cooler temperatures and fewer bugs. Summer gets very hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms and heavier mosquitoes. The river can rise quickly after heavy rain, so check conditions at 1-800-868-9914 before launching.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
