Ichetucknee Springs State Park near Fort White is famous for its six-mile river, which is fed by nine springs and flows through cypress and hardwood swamp. The water is remarkably clear and stays cool all year, making it one of the most beloved recreation areas in North Florida. Tubing down the river is the signature activity, drifting past turtles, fish and shady trees. Visitors can also swim, snorkel and hike the trails, and the springs themselves are beautiful and worth a stop. Entry is $6 per vehicle. Summer weekends are extremely busy, so arrive early or visit on a weekday for a calmer experience.
