Things To Do
Check out the Bat House
The Park’s new Bat House is located in the Farm Field and is the largest known bat house in the United States. Bats enter the house from underneath through three-quarter inch openings. The Bat House is able to hold half a million bats since bats only use one-fourth of an inch of space. Bats are nature’s insect controller. Bat t-shirts now available at the Country Store in three colors.
The Boatright Barn Museum
Step back in time and visit the Boatright Barn, located next to the Craft Village. The majority of the farm equipment and implements were donated by Thomas L. Boatright and members of his family. Mr. Boatright was one of the original founders of our “Old Tyme Farm Days”, a yearly Thanksgiving celebration of our past.
The Bird Sanctuary
Located in the beautiful Rees Lake area, the bird sanctuary will surely appease your bird watching appetite.
Canoeing & Kayaking
Don’t let your visit to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park go by without a canoe trip down the historic Suwannee River. The Suwannee Canoe Outpost, located in the park, will be pleased to set you up with everything you need. The Canoe Outpost is open everyday except Wednesday 9A.M. to 3P.M. Visit their website or call 386-364-4991 for more information.
Disc Golf
Played by throwing plastic discs into metal catching devices, aka “baskets”. Like traditional golf, the goal is to navigate from the tee to the basket in as few throws as possible. The Magnolia Disc Golf Course is beautifully wooded and relaxing, located behind the country store. The store has discs, maps, and scorecards. For more information on disc golf at country store, contact our course pro, Patty Young at 386-205-3614.
