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.

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.

Accessible only by boat, this preserve is a favorite of anglers and wildlife watchers. The park's uplands protect a remnant of the Gulf Hammock that once spanned thousands of acresbetween the Suwannee and Withlacoochee rivers.

A sparkling spring run and boardwalk beneath a cypress forest make Manatee Springs State Park a breathtaking destination for visitors to this unique Florida gem. Visitors enjoy camping, hiking, swimming and canoeing, while keeping an eye out for the West Indian manatees that frequent this park.
