Jackson Blue Springs County Recreation Area

Definitely the place to be to cool off in the summer heat! Water was cold but invigorating! I've lived in Jackson County for over 20 years and had to see for myself what the deal was, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful place for family gatherings and friendly hangout ❤

Clean, cold water! $4 entry per person. Offers- diving board, kayak rentals, and food and beverages. No lifeguard on duty. Close to other attractions like florida caverns state park and many downtown restaurants.

What an amazing place to cool off. The longer you can hold your breath the better experience. The spring is a large cavern under the diving board of the swimming hole. There’s also boating in clear bottom boats that allow those not interested in swimming in the cold water to view the fish and other things to see in the bottom of the clear water swamp.

Fun for the family. Cash or check only. $4 per person entry. Bring chairs, pop up tent, and your cooler for a full day of fun. There are benches and picnic tables scattered throughout. The water is clean and chilly, very refreshing. They have Kayak rentals $10 an hour. The kids loved paddling around and exploring outside of the swim area. Restrooms available. This is a neat place with tons of potential!

We had so much fun! Will be bringing the kayaks next time!! Water is so cold but refreshing. Bring goggles! Diving board over the natural spring! Also an old school slide. Bring chairs, snacks and a tent if you have it and stay for the whole day!! We will definitely be going back!!

What a wonderful way to end the summer ❤ The kids had fun as well as all of the adults 😉 There’s many things todo here & the water temp is just right for cooling off haha 🥶 There is a slide & a diving board also a place to rent kayaks .. Again plenty of things todo & many pavilions available upon request .. Grounds are well maintained as well as the restrooms which have dressing rooms too ..

Very brutally cold water in the cave. But such a beautiful place!
They have amenities for changing and restrooms. They have rentals for kayaks and they sell food too. Staffed with lifeguards, though they could stand to pay a bit more attention to the swimmers! Overall I am very excited to have visited and the 4$ per person entry fee is cheap. The water is amazingly clear and despite there being lots of people I still loved it.

Beautiful trails and well take care of park. Has amenities like tubing and boat rides for those who want to the next level experience. While we were there we saw a ton of different fish, wild life and even manatees. Well worth going with the family and making an afternoon of it. I would suggest getting there early as the park can fill up and the line to get in becomes very long.

Amazing natural spring with underwater cave. Breathing place to swim in natural, freezing crystal clear waters. You can spend many hours there. Always exhilarating. Great place to visit with friends and family. Great adventures hiking around the area. You can rent a boat and go around the
Waters in the area. Definitely worth the trip if you can make it out there. Will definitely be coming back in the future!!

For 5 dollars you get access to an amazing place. Easy parking, many benches, and a playground. There is a diving board to jump off of and a amazing slide into the water. If you are in the area this is a must go.

Rented some kayaks, took a dip in the water, all the staff are super friendly, prices are very reasonable and theres a lot of fun to be had. Great place to picnic, get some sun and cool off. Water is clear and cold!

We had such an amazing time. They have it all for family fun. Because of hurricane Michael, the playground was close until further notice but overall great place. They have picnic tables, outlets for your convenience, a slide, diving board, lifeguards and so much more!!!! I must say this was the best find for a spring.

Best $4 I ever spent was to lazy the day away here. It was absolutely beautiful and has a lot to do. My kids were entertained the whole time. The water was cold but perfect to fight the summer heat.

BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING! The water is crystal clear, the water is cold! Kids and family love it! We would be here every day if we could. However, when visiting today we found the place a mess. The water is still great, but weeds have popped up in bunches in the sand of the shore. The restrooms were disgusting. And there was garbage and bits of debri (a lot of paper, plastic, and bits of foam, broken goggles etc) all over the place in the grass and the sand. I've never seen the grounds look so messy. It was sad.

Amazing place to go in a small town setting. Plenty of lifeguards, water slide, diving board, crystal clear water from a 1st magnitude spring. Kayak rentals available, pavilions and grills. They also have a volleyball net and a playground.

Beautiful area, well maintained, thoroughly enjoyed the day here

This is just a wonderful park for the family. There is a lot to do including snorkeling and a playground for the kids. The swim area is well kept and fed by a spring, so the water is cool and clear.

This is a great family outing location. The water is cold and clear with diving platform and slide. Be sure to bring goggles and check out the cave under the diving board.

The water is very cold. They have pavillions for large gatherings that you pay to reserve. (w/electrical outlets) The large pavillions close to the water are higher. They have a few small ones that are first come first serve. Tents are allowed. The area gets very very crowded near and in the water. Small grills also. Overall nice place for family..

My family and I had so much fun. It was very in expensive, only $4 a person. The water was ice cold and the water was clear on one side of the water. It wasn't covered in junk or trash. I will definitely be back!
