About Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park

Do you want to know a fun fact about Edward Bull Wakulla Springs State Park? Well, it happens to be home to one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world! How amazing is that! 

Not only that, this popular Florida park is also home to an abundance of wildlife, including alligators, turtles, deer, and birds. Make sure you take your camera!

Want to get a closer view of the wildlife? Check out the daily guided riverboat tours that provide a closer look, and there are even glass bottom boat tours offered when the water is clear. 

Feeling the heat? We know that Florida sun can get pretty hot! Great for you that swimming is a popular activity during the hot summer months. Rather stick to dry land? Up to nine miles of nature trails offer a leisurely walk along the upland wooded areas of the park, so just go at your own pace.

Also at the Edward Bull Wakulla Springs State Park, the Wakulla Springs Lodge was built in 1937 and is open year-round. A full-service dining room overlooks the spring, so sit back and enjoy some tasty meals!
