Find a Park

Hundreds of manatees make this park their home for the winter, and viewing these gentle giants from the spring's overlooks is a rare experience. The refreshing 72-degree waters of Blue Spring State Park greet visitors at this gem along the St. Johns River.

Take a dip in the first-magnitude spring, walk the natural limestone bridge that crosses the spring run, or picnic under the shade of the oak trees with their swaying Spanish moss.

Enjoy stunning blue-green spring waters under ancient oaks on the historic Suwannee River. Fanning Springs is an inviting source of cool, clear, crisp water that has attracted people for thousands of years.
