Advent Christian Village is a hub on the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail. From their website:
“In contrast to theme parks and beaches lies a rural Florida defined by a river that flows through the cultural and physical landscape of legends and song that tell the story of Florida. That river is the Suwannee … From whichever point along the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail you enter the river, you will remember the sound of the river, echoing ancient stories, carrying the tune of cultures past and present for as long as the river flows.”
