Crystal clear, very cool or coldish water from an underground spring to swim or float around in. In the spring and summer I believe you can float, swim or tube down the river.

Nice shaded walking path to go between Blue Hole and the Springs.

You can bring your own snacks or there was a food truck when we were there.

Awesome natural park, well kept, and good amenities. Not a party spot, family friendly. Water does get cold after a while!

This place is for storybooks! It’s gorgeous. Easy walk to the springs, which are very cold! Food truck was open and bathrooms were clean. No bottles or coolers were allowed on the float.

Very nice park just a little rough to get in. Either a big last step or Slippy rocks to get in

Just incredible! Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful swim. And the food there was actually really good and great priced too. Who would have thought?

As a wedding officiant I travel to a lot of state parks to perform weddings. This was such a great experience, the staff was amazing, and the couple had a great time.

Great park! There is so much to do. The ranges are extremely kind and helpful while doing a great job enforcing the rules.

Great place to spend time as a family. There was a long dark haired girl in an employee shirt with a very foul mouth who upset my kids with the way she was talking and yelling. Otherwise a decent afternoon.

Had a great time tubing down the river. We used the shuttle service. We brought our own tubes and noodles, but they have plenty to rent in various sizes. Water pretty chilly but not horrible on a hot day. Lot's of parking but it was packed when finished our run. They have picnic tables to use and a little shop also. Bathrooms were clean. I will go again for sure.

I’ve been all over the world in so many exotic places and Itcetucknee Springs is still in my top 1% of places to be. I get confused when I’m trying to figure out where to park, but no biggie. We go a few times every year and have always rented tubes at external places - next time we’re going to rent from the park itself for convenience even though at same time I want to support those long-standing rental businesses. The restrooms are spacious and clean!

Great place in Summer to gently tube-float slowly through amazing scenery, filtered sun. Minimal Sunscreen like a 25 on exposed body parts. Waterproof needed.
Pleasant short hike to jump in spot. Best is beach sand and surf shoes. Blisters? Sacrifice some type sock liners or what you got. Spend a great day with family, friends. $5 ish per car. Well worth it. Closed for season in August so Call first or check parks? Ichetucknee State Park website. Google it will help. Peace& Love

WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE! AND THE RANGERS THAT MICRO MANAGE BY NOT ALLOWING YOU TO BRING YOUR COOLER BY THE SWIMMING HOLE, REALLY? ITS RIDICULOUS!

We enter the park by the South entrance first.
This is a great park! We did the tubbing. If you get there early, you can do it a few times. For sure pay for the tram. Makes it so much easier with those big tubes. Or you can do tubbing and kayaking. We also went to the ponds, a lot of people. The prices are very good. We had food from the concession stad in the South entrance. Took a while, but the food was good. You cant bring ANY one use plastics.including ziplocs or bottles or ANY alcohol.

Amazing park to visit. Float down the river, or swim in fresh water springs. Summer is the perfect time to go.

Still such a great place. It's crowded on the weekends but park rangers monitor the crowds so it works. I was there Sunday 7-30-23 @ 3pm. The woman at the gate was so pleasant & helpful. I just really appreciate that vibe these days. Thank you!

I absolutely love itchetucknee springs. The south entrance is more to my liking, the north entrance is usually really crowded however it is still lovely. The tubing is a must, it's a wonderful experience drifting down the river and the walk back is very calming.
