Welcome to Fanning Springs State Park
Located on the Suwannee River, this inviting source of cool, clear water has attracted people for thousands of years. Fanning Springs produces about 65 million gallons of water daily, making it one of Florida’s 33 first-magnitude springs. Swimming or snorkeling in the spring is a refreshing activity on a hot day. Visitors can enter the park by boat from the Suwannee River or by car from U.S. 19/98. Visitors enjoy the picnic area, playground and sandy volleyball court. A boardwalk overlooks the spring and river. Seasonal concessions provide food and canoe/kayak rentals. White-tailed deer, gray squirrels, red-shouldered hawks, pileated woodpeckers and barred owls are some of the animals seen in the park. Manatees sometimes visit the spring during the winter months. Five full-service cabins are available for rent. Primitive camping is available for a fee. Reserve a canoe or kayak by calling Suwannee River Tours at (352) 490-9797.
