Blue Spring State Park

During periods of high visitation, visitors may experience long lines to enter Blue Spring State Park. The park frequently reaches capacity and may temporarily close. Closures occur intermittently and may last several hours. Visitors with camping or boat tour reservations will be admitted to the park while it is closed, but pedestrians and bicyclists will not be allowed to enter until the park reopens.

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.
