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.

Stretching 20 miles into the blue waters of the Gulf of America, St. Joseph Peninsula is a true wildlife haven. Its powdery beaches and bayside salt marshes are nesting grounds for sea turtles, shore birds and the endangered St. Andrews beach mouse.

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.
