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.

This crystal-clear, first-magnitude spring is a popular spot for swimming and cave diving. Scenic woodlands of mixed hardwoods and pines create a picturesque setting for picnicking, paddling and wildlife viewing.
