Beat the summer heat at Blue Spring State Park, where you’ll find a wide range of activities to keep you entertained in the sun.

Splashing around in the cold, 72-degree water is the ideal way to cool off when the sun is high in the sky. Begin your journey at the spring’s higher entrance to ensure that you view the entire length of this beautiful stream.

Take a short stroll on the boardwalk to get to the spring’s top entrance. Take in the forest landscape that surrounds the spring as you travel down the path. The area’s natural splendor makes you feel like you’re in your own private paradise.

Feel free to wade in the shallow waters near the banks or fully immerse yourself in the pure waters once you arrive at the spring entrance.

Swim upstream to reach the spring boil for a challenge. You can see the stream’s mouth and even snorkel into the deeper waters for a spectacular underwater view of the spring. You may float down the crystal-clear spring stream from the boil.

All of your water adventure needs can be met at the park’s snack shop. Lockers, tubes, and swimming equipment such as goggles and snorkels can all be rented here. Snacks are also available at the shop.
