PLACES TO STAY IN DIXIE

From the rustic fishing camp or a modern motel, an RV park or campground, a beautifully furnished house or condo, you'll find it in Dixie County, where wild places prevail.

Secluded at the heart of the beautiful and wild Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, the town of Suwannee is a unique small community overlooks the river, salt and fresh water creeks and man-made canals. Experience nature at its untouched best while enjoying our waterfront accommodation, great seafood or down-home restaurants, marinas and expert fishing guides. The river mouth opens to a scenic vista of tidal marshes dotted with small coastal islands, an area of shallow waters or “flats” and oyster bars teaming with fish. Natural salt marches and tidal flats attract thousands of shorebirds while acting as a nursery for fish, shrimp and shellfish.
