Nestled along the banks of the scenic Suwannee River, Hinton Landing Park in Old
Town offers a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle
of daily life. Located in Dixie County, this park is a beloved local gem,
providing effortless access to one of North Florida’s most iconic waterways.
Whether you are an avid
angler, a paddling enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the slow,
rhythmic pace of river living, Hinton Landing is an ideal spot to reconnect with
nature. Hinton Landing is known for its quiet, unassuming charm. It is a place
where the landscape remains largely unspoiled, offering a "real Florida"
experience without the commercial crowds found at more tourist-heavy
destinations.
Despite its remote and tranquil atmosphere, the park is well-equipped to support
your outdoor adventures: A paved boat ramp provides easy access to the Suwannee
River, perfect for powerboats or smaller vessels. The park features a dedicated
fishing pier and a floating dock, allowing for great shoreline fishing or an
easy way to get in and out of a kayak or canoe.
Picnic tables and grills are available - some tucked away in shaded areas. The
park includes a playground with swings, and restrooms, making it a great
location for families to spend time together near the water.
A small number of camping sites are available for RVs and tent camping. The RV
spots have electric and water hookups. There is typically a resident caretaker
on-site. Showers and hot water are also available for campers.
