A MESSAGE FROM PARK RANGER
AMY CONYERS

We look forward to your visit and want to be sure that you have a great time. We encourage you to plan your visit and make reservations. If you would like to take a boat tour, please secure your tickets online at https://thelodgeatwakullasprings.com/plan-your-trip/jungle-cruise/. You’ll be sure to work up an appetite, so make reservations to enjoy a meal as well. Dining reservations can be made online at https://www.opentable.com/r/the-edward-ball-dining-room-at-wakulla-springs-crawfordville. All reservations can also be made by calling the Lodge at 850-421-2000.

At any time of year, the park has something new to see or enjoy. Whether it is a new menu item at the Lodge restaurant, a new flavor of ice cream in the parlor, a flower in bloom (check out our new plant identification guide) or a flash of color fluttering by, you are sure to find something to make your visit memorable and unique.

Off the Beaten Path – Wakulla Springs State Park

Wakulla Springs is one of the deepest springs in the world; cave divers have found the remains of Mastodons! Today, you can take a scenic boat trip full of wildlife or dive off a platform into Wakulla Spring.
