Great place to see birds! The hike was nice, though we saw no wildlife on it. The boat ride was awesome! The ranger was funny and educational. We saw manatees, alligators and more birds than I want to list. The price for the boat ride was reasonable.

so if you want to do something a little different Florida's blessed to have some beautiful beautiful state parks, but I must say that Wakulla Springs is one of our favorites. There's so much to do here and such a beautiful place the trails are fantastic make sure you bring some bug spray and in the summer the humidity in heat can be a little hot, but in the fall and the winter the trails are fantastic also you may be able too but not recommended sneak off the trail just a little bit and maybe find an alligator or two. So if you're visiting Florida I want to do something a little different the forest is a great place to explore and the trails are fantastic and well-maintained.

Such an amazing place! Well worth the drive and the 40min boat tour! The historic lodge has such amazing detail to the tile work it truly takes you back in time. The movie filming history on location is cool as well, however the most unique part of this state park is its tranquility with the natural setting it is in. You will see alligators and you will see people swimming. You might even see them in the water at the same time! The rangers are quick to respond however to the alligators being in the swim area. But as soon as its closing time the alligators will take over the place, so i wouldn't recommend swimming after hours????
