Big Shoals State Park offers over 28 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, plus a canoe/kayak launch providing access to the Suwannee River and Florida's only Class III whitewater rapids.

The park features a primitive campground, picnic facilities, and restrooms at two day-use areas (Big Shoals and Little Shoals), with the Big Shoals portage trail allowing paddlers to safely bypass the dangerous rapids.

Day-use admission is $4 per vehicle, and the park is open 8 a. m. to sundown year-round, with peak visitation during cooler months (October-March).
