About Blue Spring State Park

Florida's premier manatee viewing spot. Hundreds of West Indian manatees take refuge in the 72°F spring water every winter (Nov–Mar). Swimming and snorkeling CLOSED when manatees are present. Outside manatee season: excellent snorkeling and scuba in crystal-clear water. Strong upwelling current at the vent. Manatee observation boardwalk open year-round. Reservations required in winter.
