Find a Park

An iconic roadside attraction meets natural wonder at historic Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Step back in time and enjoy the classic mermaid show, but remember that this quintessential Old Florida site is also home to the deepest freshwater cave system in the country and abundant protected wildlife.

Discover one of Florida's most productive and biologically diverse estuaries, where freshwater from stunning spring-fed rivers mixes with the saltwater of the Gulf of America. The park borders 20 miles of the northern Gulf Coast between the cities of Yankeetown and Homosassa.

Huge trees and fern-covered sinkholes line Sinkhole Trail, the boardwalk that leads visitors to Florida's highest waterfall. Falling Waters Sink is a 100-foot-deep, 20-foot-wide cylindrical pit into which flows a small stream that drops 73 feet to the bottom of the sink.

An unexpected oasis surrounded by busy urban areas provides visitors with a refreshing escape into natural Florida. This hidden gem is also a refuge for the imperiled Florida scrub-jay, bald eagles and other birds that nest along the shores of Lake Osprey.
