6Madison Blue Spring State Park
This state park is located between the towns of Lee and Jasper, along the Withlacoochee River. It’s one of the state’s newest parks. The locals once came here for fresh water.
Today this spot is hot for birding, cave diving, fishing paddling, and lazy river tubing. USA Today once voted Madison Blue Spring State Park “the Number 1 Swimming Hole” in the US. The water here is sapphire-colored.
There’s plenty of room too since it is almost 82 feet in width and between five and 25 feet in depth. Indeed, it also features the area’s biggest underwater cave system so it’s big with scuba divers. Although the park is open all year, you can only go tubing in the springs and river on the weekends and then only between May and September. No food, beverages, or disposable items are permitted here.
7Spring Creek Park
This scenic park is nestled in the little town of Marianna. It’s a great place for longer paddling and lazy river tubing adventures. Here you can relax and float for almost four hours along the crystal-clear water.
Spring Creek is sand-bottomed and shallow. It begins at popular Merrit’s Mill Pond and runs to the well-known Chipola River. The former spans an area of under 270 acres and has a depth of between 10 and 12 feet.
The park is comparatively small and yet it’s a popular place for fishing, spotting turtles, and tubing. Tubing on this fun, spring-fed creek is a crowd-pleaser so it’s best to get there early. Visit in the summer because the water gets as brisk as 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
