Event comments

Park fills up rapidly on weekends causing rangers to close gates. Go early on weekends or call ahead to check availability. Trail is rated 1B and is 60% shaded. This is the largest spring on the St Johns River and is a designated Manatee Refuge during the winter, home to a growing population of the West Indian Manatee. It's not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Walk on paved park road, unpaved campground road, service road, hiking trail, Blue Run and Spring Boil Boardwalk where manatees are present in colder winter months.
