Diagram showing hiking route to the Green Cemetery burial site located in the 
Suwannee River State Park on Hamilton County, Florida. 

The Green Cemetery is located in the Suwannee River State Park.  The park 
spans three counties, Hamilton, Madison and Suwannee.  Green Cemetery is in 
the extreme northerly portion of the park which lies  in Hamilton County.  
Hamilton County Property Appraiser Parcel 5096-000 in Sect 13 Twp 1S Range 
11E. 
The easiest route (per Trail Map provided to trail hikers and riders by the 
Park Dept.) is to access the service road running along the south side of SW 
CR 141 at the approach to the bridge over the Withlacoochee River, on the 
Hamilton County side of the bridge.   It is necessary to park vehicles on the 
south side of the bridge on the Madison County side and walk over the bridge 
to the unpaved service road on the Hamilton County side.  The south service 
road leads to the gate entering private property. 
To reach the Green burial location requires a 2 mile hike on a trail from CR 
141 through private property and on into the forest on Suwannee River State 
Park to the burial site.  There were reportedly ten to twelve burials there, 
but the headstones no longer exist.  There is only a pipe in the ground 
designating the burial site.  As of March 2011 no information has been 
obtained on individuals buried there.  The volunteer park trail guide advised 
that local lore tells that the Green family visited the area to spend several 
months fishing.  They would return to Jasper to sell the fish.  Those who died 
while they were sojourning there were buried in the cemetery.
