Blue Spring State Park

**Effective April 1, 2024: In-water activities are closed while we stabilize the shoreline at Blue Spring State Park. This closure includes swimming, snorkeling, tubing, diving and paddling in the spring run and spring head. Boat tours and paddling are only allowed in the St. Johns River. Visitors are asked to adhere to all posted signs and avoid closed areas when visiting the park.

Beat the summer heat at Blue Spring State Park - with a variety of activities at your disposal, you’re sure to have tons of fun in the sun! With the sun high in the sky, splashing about in the refreshing, 72-degree water is the perfect way to cool off. Start your adventure at the upper entrance of the spring to make sure that you see the entirety of this gorgeous waterway.

To reach the upper entrance of the spring, take a short walk on the boardwalk. As you walk along the path, take in the woodland area that surrounds the spring. The natural beauty of the area makes you feel like you’re secluded away in your own paradise.

Once you reach the spring entrance, feel free to wade in the shallow waters near the banks, or fully immerse yourself in the pristine waters.

Visitors can also launch a canoe or kayak (rentals are available at the park) or take a guided river boat cruise.
