Freshwater springs are the ultimate year-round Florida attraction, and we've got more of these crystal-clear natural wonders than any other place in the country.
North and Central Florida have the highest concentrations of springs, making it super simple to create your own personalized trip, depending on your schedule and how much you have previously traveled in the area. If you haven't had the privilege of visiting many Florida springs in the past, here's a sample trip that follows a fairly linear route with a stop at a spring a day. Let's hit the road:
WAKULLA SPRINGS STATE PARK
Located just 15 minutes south of Tallahassee, Wakulla Springs State Park is the perfect northern anchor for a springs road trip. For starters, this is the deepest freshwater spring in the world; don't miss a chance to perform your best cannonball from the swimming platform. History, nature and film buffs, if the scenery looks like something from a Tarzan movie, that's because it is. Wakulla Springs is the location of many Hollywood classics, including "Creature from the Black Lagoon." Be sure to take the famous river cruise while you’re there, too.
The park is open from 8:00 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a year.
$6 per vehicle with between 2 - 8 occupants. $2 per pedestrian or bicyclist.
