Next Stop – Wakulla Springs

I have had this spot marked on my maps for a couple of years to visit. We finally made it this past year. It is south of Tallahassee.

I highly recommend this area to visit.

Wakulla Springs is a place where history stretches back thousands of years, from early Native Americans who lived in shoreline villages to filmmakers who recognized the primeval quality of the park’s swamps and wildlife when they decided to film Tarzan’s Secret Treasure (1941) and Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) here

• Depth: The spring’s vent is 185 feet below the water’s surface. 
• Size: The spring pool is 315 feet in diameter. 
• Cave system: The spring connects to an underwater cave system with over 26 miles of passageways. 
• Temperature: The water is near-constant 69 degrees

One of America’s largest springs is protected within Silver Springs State Park. We took a boat ride down river to see all the birds and manatees enjoying the tranquility of this area.

There are plenty of manatees enjoying the warm water.

Plus beautiful views all along the river.
