Blue Spring Recreation Area 5247-5273 Blue Springs Road, Youngstown, FL 32466

"Beautiful spot with lots to see. The stairs go into the big spring and the other spring is a tiny cave. Also has a deep sinkhole with a little creek flowing through the bottom of it."

"Great spring area with a cave. Restroom is a porta potty but there's picnic areas. Not too crowded and usually friendly people. Good for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. There's also a nature trail. Definitely a beautiful area to explore."

"I understand, and that's a valid point to mention. Here's the revised review including the information about the park closing at sunset: My friends and I had an incredible time at this recreational park! The natural spring with cold water all year long was a refreshing delight. The covered picnic area provided a comfortable space to relax and enjoy a meal amidst the beautiful surroundings. We appreciated the convenient stairs that made it easy to access the spring, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone. Additionally, having port-a-potty's on site was a thoughtful amenity. One thing we found helpful was the park's closing time at sunset. It ensured that we didn't come too late and find it closed, allowing us to plan our visit accordingly. Overall, I highly recommend this park for a fun-filled day with friends or family. The natural spring and well-equipped facilities make it an excellent destination to escape into nature and create cherished memories, all while enjoying the convenience of a sunset closing time."

"Beautiful cold spring! Saw lots of river life, turtles, fish, large bass and bream in the clear water. They have a very small parking area, a port o John, and steps that lead down into the water. Saw a few people put in here to kayak."

"Not a good place for small children as the water entry are on a horrible grade. Stairs leading into the spring are overloaded with people and the bottom step is not secured causing it to tip forward and dump those standing on it. With so many people, this place is overcrowded and not much fun without a float away from the spring head to enjoy the surrounding beauty of this place. The new campground is also a joke as well as the campground kayak entry. Fine for a adult day trip to cool off but would not suggest bringing small children here."
