Fanning Springs State Park

Fanning Springs State Park is centered on a first-magnitude spring that discharges into the Suwannee River in Gilchrist County, Florida. The spring produces clear water at 22°C and connects to the Suwannee via a short spring run that is popular for snorkeling and kayaking. The state park provides river access and sandy beach areas along the Suwannee itself. The Nature Coast setting — with cypress trees, turtles, and herons — epitomizes the wild character of Florida's spring-fed river corridor.
