  • Absolutely beautiful state park with a large natural spring swimming area, kayaks and a river cruise also available. Beautiful oak trees adorning the ground. Several pavilions available to reserve...

  • Beautiful, clean, lots of room to enjoy your day there. Breakfast was great, cook it yourself in front of you. We will be back! I wish they still had some of the stuff from way back in the day would be cool to see. The big building holds all the history of the place quite interesting. The trees are worth seeing in person, pictures do it no justice. And your car is parked in the shade😁😁. Almost every spot. Water feels cold at first but do refreshing. 72` They have canoe and tube rentals, you can catch the boat tour too.
  • New to Florida and visiting every springs possibly is on my husband’s and I to do list. This is number three for us and every single one is just as beautiful as the next. Skipped the pancakes (the wait can be a couple hours) but enjoyed the scenery and tranquility of it all. Water is cold (don’t let 72 degrees fool you) but just go for the plunge and all is well. I also appreciate a springs that has shallow water areas where I can just sit or stand and enjoy just being in the water. Would definitely come by again and perhaps maybe even try the famous pancake house. And be sure to stop by the visitor center and learn some historical facts about the springs and surrounding areas.
