Blue Spring State Park

River

Blue Spring feeds a clear run of 72°F water that flows into the St. Johns River, and on summer days swimmers float it alongside schools of fish. From mid-November through March the run belongs to hundreds of wintering manatees and is closed to all water activities, so swim season runs April to mid-November. Since July 2026 every visitor needs a day-use reservation, so book before you go.
