Fanning Springs Trailhead
About the Business
Fanning Springs Trailhead, located along the Nature Coast State Trail in Fanning Springs, Florida, is a beautiful park that offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy. The park is currently experiencing some temporary closures, including the accessibility lift chair in the swimming area and the spring itself, due to high river levels. To protect the forests, visitors are asked not to bring their own firewood into the park, as the emerald ash borer infestation can be spread through infested wood. Wood is available for purchase at the park for $10.
Fanning Springs is a second-magnitude spring that produces 65 million gallons of water daily, providing a refreshing escape for visitors on hot Florida days. The springs are home to a variety of underwater wildlife, including musk turtles, bass, mullet, freshwater flounder, bowfin, and even manatees during colder days.
Visitors can enjoy picnicking under majestic live oaks, playing volleyball on the white sand court, and exploring the boardwalk through a cypress swamp with towering cypress knees. The park also offers a playground for young guests and a spectacular overlook of the Suwannee River.
Wildlife enthusiasts may spot white-tailed deer, gray squirrels, red-shouldered hawks, pileated woodpeckers, and barred owls in the park. The park can be accessed by boat from the Suwannee River or by vehicle from U.S. Highway 19. Come and experience the natural beauty and tranquility of Fanning Springs Trailhead.
