Find a Park

Blackwater River boasts an incredible array of activities for the outdoor enthusiast, many centered around the park’s namesake waterway.

Hundreds of manatees make this park their home for the winter, and viewing these gentle giants from the spring's overlooks is a rare experience. The refreshing 72-degree waters of Blue Spring State Park greet visitors at this gem along the St. Johns River.

Cool off as you drift down the Ichetucknee, a unique spring-fed river where you can relax as you experience the real Florida. The crystal-clear Ichetucknee River flows 6 miles through shaded hammocks and wetlands before it joins the Santa Fe River.

From wading in the crystalline headwaters to canoeing, kayaking and tubing down river, visitors at Rainbow Springs enjoy a priceless jewel in the Florida park system.
