Although the spring itself is beautiful, there is nothing pretty about what surrounds it. There is an old wood boardwalk & stairs that have been fenced off with a rather ugly fencing, leaving only one access to the spring and it's the boat launch ramp. And there are some floating rope devices a few feet from the edges with some stagnant looking water inside it. But, the water beyond it in the spring is crystal clear and flowing nicely.

You can rent a canoe or kayak or just bring your own flotation device.

The restrooms are in really rough condition, needing paint & a good cleaning. Needs renovation.

If you are just here for the day to use the spring, it's a nice place to have a picnic & swim.

The trails are interesting, we saw two smaller springs that were closed off, under a restoration. But lovely to view. Bring a walking pole if you have any balance problems, as there are many obstacles along the paths, roots, etc. Plus, the paths can get slightly steep in places. But, it's mostly white sugar sand.

If you plan to stay the night, RV or tent, they have water & electric, but NO holding tank dump. You have to drive to O'Leno park for that. Very inconvenient! Especially since the road into the park is a sandy washboard. We had to leave before our last night, with full holding tanks, we couldn't stay. After driving back down the washboard road, we just couldn't drive back. So, we moved on.

Also, parking in many of the RV spots is a challenge if you have a large rig. Ours is a 33' motorcoach & we couldn't have pulled into our assigned spot if the spot across from us had been occupied, because of the trees & fences surrounding each space. Most RV spots are not level or even close, they are on soft sand which made it difficult with our auto level system. The pads sunk into the sand.

Thankfully, the state has big plans for this park. We will return after the renovations are done, but only if they pave the road into the park.
