Stephen Foster Folk Culture State Park

Cost: $10 individual SBA Members; $20 family SBA Members (camping fee is separate and is paid directly to the Stephen Foster Folk Culture State Park when you make your reservations.)

Enjoy a relaxing weekend of road and off road rides, kayaking and inner tubing at Stephen Foster Folk Culture State Park, . Saturday afternoon, enjoy a relaxing float or paddle on the river. SBA tubes are provided or you can bring your own boat. Stephen Foster Folk Culture State Park also has the Florida Trail for hikers, arguably the prettiest section in the state.

This event has been held at Suwannee River State Park in years past, but Hurricane Idalia delivered a direct blow on the park and the trails there will not be ready for this event, so Dog Days will take place in White Springs.
