Join the fun, its summer at Blue Spring State Park, hot days, cool refreshing spring water, and a great opportunity for kids and parents to cool off in the spring. Bring your swim gear, pack a picnic lunch, and bring the whole family for a picnic and family fun in the Florida sun!

The Florida Park Service takes pride in providing a quality nature based recreational experience to our visitors. Approved contract concessionaires work closely with the Florida Park Service to provide the quality services that individual parks may not be equipped to provide. Two of these approved business partners provide services at Blue Spring State Park. Web page links to these concessionaires are located in the “activities” section.

Blue Spring Enterprises, Inc. operates a food service area with WIFI; a gift shop, camp store and personal water sport equipment supply. Located near the public swimming area they can provide deli style sandwiches, cold beverages, frozen treats and snacks if you don’t want to pack a picnic. Tube or snorkel sales and rentals are conveniently available as are quality souvenir and educational items to remember your visit.

St. Johns River Cruises, Inc. located along the banks of the St Johns River offer guided nature tours along the scenic St Johns River in modern comfortable river boats. For visitors desiring a “Blue Spring Paddling Adventure” experience; guided canoe or kayak trips are available. If those tours do not satisfy enough of your “bucket list” adventures, a guided Wilderness Escape” tour of the Blue Spring back country by Segway is another adventure tour option offered.  For those independent minded folks, canoes and kayaks may be rented as well.

Please remember, if you plan a trip to Blue Spring; arrive early, or wait to visit until late in the afternoon. Blue Spring State Park often reaches capacity by mid morning on weekends, holidays and even some weekdays during the summer swim season. Once the park carrying capacity is reached, the park will close temporarily until overcrowded conditions ease.
