Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park
Were you aware that Florida was home to some of the most alluring freshwater springs in the county? Though you probably won’t find any better ones than those at the Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park.
The spring water stays at a constant temperate of 70 degrees all year round, perfect if you’re looking for a refreshing dip. Surrounding the pool is an ancient, mystifying cypress swamp that served as the setting for the 1954 movie “Creature from the Black Lagoon.”
Popular recreations include hiking along the gorgeous nature trails, taking a riverboat tour to search for the manatees, and climbing to the top of the 22ft observation deck to enjoy unforgettable views of the park.
And if you want to extend your a couple of days, the 27-room lodge offers very relaxing accommodations.
