A bald cypress tree is warmed by setting sun over the Suwannee River in Florida.The Suwannee is a federally designated wild river that rises in the Okefenokee Swamp in southern George and meanders 238 miles south to the Gulf of Mexico.
The river is well known because of Stephen Foster’s song “Old Folks at Home” where he immortalized the “Swannee River.” Native American tribes lived on the banks of the river prior to European settlement.
