Way Down Upon The
Suwannee River:
Houseboating in Florida In Florida, you find them in all shapes - from clunky to sleek - plugging along ancient rivers, crystalline springs and Everglades back bays, or zipping through the island-edged Intracoastal Waterway and open sea. Houseboat rentals in Florida perhaps began at Miller's,
where the Suwannee River flushes out into the Gulf of Mexico at the crotch
known as "Big Bend." The Miller family has run the unpretentious marina
for more than 28 years. Home to prehistoric manatees
and Gulf sturgeon, the Suwannee passes miles of thick and ancient magnolia,
pine and cypress forest emitting primitive wildcat sounds out of the early
morning fog. You can go for hours without signs of civilization. You can pick up the pace, if
you so desire, with other houseboat rentals on the St. John's River, in
the Everglades or in coastal waters. Take it zippy or take it
slow. That's the beauty of Florida houseboating: no pre-set schedules. The only
timekeeper is the tides. Flamingo Lodge Marina Miller's Marina
