Lee- Madison Blue Spring State Park

Located in one of Florida’s newest state parks, this crystal-clear, first-magnitude spring is a popular swimming hole. The spring pool is a small limestone basin about 72 feet by 82 feet wide and 24 feet deep, on the west bank of the scenic Withlacoochee River.

Madison Blue Springs State Park experiences frequent closures between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays due to high visitation. The park closes when it reaches capacity but may reopen to additional visitors at a later time that day. For their safety, visitors are not permitted to park and wait in their cars on the side on the road or in the park entrance area for the park to reopen. Local law enforcement will issue citations if violations of this are witnessed.

Activities: Swimming, scuba diving, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, picnic area, playground.

$4 to $5 per vehicle. $2 pedestrians, bicyclists, extra passengers.
