Situated at the confluence of the Suwannee and Withlacoochee Rivers, this state park features numerous aquatic habitats (sinks, springs and streams), plus sandhills, upland pine and mixed forest, bottomland forest and floodplain forest. Five hiking trails range in length from 0.25 to 18 miles. The best trails for birding parallel the bluffs and limestone outcroppings of the Suwannee River.
The Twin Rivers State Forest's scenic Ellaville Tract borders the western shore of the Suwannee River. Wildlife watchers can explore miles of forest roads and trails here; habitats include sandhills, upland mixed forest, bottomland forest and floodplain forest. The Blue Springs Tract is an example of a rare longleaf-wiregrass community.
