"The park was beautiful. The spring water was so clear and the weather when we visited was on the cooler side so we thoroughly enjoyed this park."

"Madison Blue Park is definitely worth the visit. Beautiful clear spring water that we were told stays 72 degrees year round. Nice trails to hike and dog friendly"

"Stopped by for a visit. The parking area is a bit small and we say that because we had intended to visit pulling our tear drop. While there were only four other cars and some repair vehicles it would have been a challenge to turn around. I can see on a busy weekend it would be almost impossible to visit in an RV. We walked to the main Spring where most of the diving occurs. Interesting to see no animals allowed on the walk but there were no such restrictions at the second dive Spring. Beautiful area, well worth the stop. Plenty of picnic tables and there was a nice/clean restroom. No Ranger, so payment is on the honor system."

"The water was a bit chilly but refreshing, and there was a current from the center so I had to keep an eye out. But there were no alligator warning signs, so I figured I was in the clear. I stayed for three hours, and my skin felt silky smooth afterwards. This place is the bee's knees!"
