Town of Branford
Branford is a small, friendly town nestled on the banks of the Suwannee River, where pride in family, community and patriotism create a wonderful quality of life. It is a peaceful, rural area of natural beauty balancing the old with the new.
 Branford is a major Hub on the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail. The river widens along the lower Suwannee near Branford. Sandy banks become lower and slope gently toward the river. Located in the heart of Florida's spring and river country, Branford is 20 minutes from High Springs, Live Oak, and Mayo-towns along the "Antique Trail." Branford features many businesses including hotels/motels, convenience stores, restaurants, outfitters and many others. This is a great town for refreshing supplies or setting up base camp.
