Find a Park

Blackwater River boasts an incredible array of activities for the outdoor enthusiast, many centered around the park’s namesake waterway.

Cool off as you drift down the Ichetucknee, a unique spring-fed river where you can relax as you experience the real Florida. The crystalline Ichetucknee River flows six miles through shaded hammocks and wetlands before it joins the Santa Fe River.

From wading in the crystalline headwaters to canoeing, kayaking, and even lazily floating a tube down river, Rainbow Springs is a priceless jewel in the Florida park system. The history of Rainbow Springs dates back centuries to a time when native peoples regularly visited this lush spring.
