Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park is located at 465 Wakulla Park Drive in Wakulla County, Florida, about 14 miles south of Tallahassee. It is one of the world's largest and deepest freshwater springs, with a main vent reaching a depth of roughly 185 to 350 feet and outputting hundreds of millions of gallons of water daily.
The crystal-clear water stays a constant, refreshing 70°F year-round. The State Park opens daily from 8:00 a.m. to sunset (swimming typically opens at 9:00 a.m.). Entry is $6 per vehicle (with lower rates for single occupants, pedestrians, or bicyclists).
Guided riverboat tours take you on 45-to-55-minute ranger-led river cruises ($8 for adults, $5 for children) that showcase local wildlife including alligators, manatees (best seen from October to January), turtles, and dozens of bird species.
There's a designated swimming area featuring a 22-foot high jumping and observation platform over the deep spring bowl.
There are also over 10 miles of woodland and interpretive trails (such as the Sally Ward and Hammock Spur trails). The 1937 Mediterranean Revival Wakulla Springs Lodge offers 27 historic hotel rooms, a full-service dining room, and a classic marble soda fountain.
