Ichetucknee Springs Headspring

River

Intermediate

Ichetucknee's headspring, at the park's North Entrance, is one of two springs where swimming is allowed: a clear 72°F pool at the top of a six-mile river fed by eight major springs. The springs reach up to 40 feet deep, so it suits confident swimmers and snorkelers. Nearby Blue Hole is for experienced swimmers only; arrive early, as weekends and holidays often hit capacity.
