A masterpiece of floral architecture, the gardens feature a picturesque brick walkway, secret garden, reflection pool, walled garden and hundreds of camellias and azaleas.These beautiful ornamental gardens were first planted in 1923 by Alfred B. and Louise Maclay after they purchased the property for their winter home.

For walking enthusiasts, two short nature trails meander through the woods overlooking the lake. Hikers, bicyclists and equestrians can enjoy six miles of shared-use trails and five miles of designated biking trails winding through the woods surrounding Lake Overstreet, located on park property adjoining the gardens.

Peak blooming season is from January 1 through April 30, with the floral peak in mid-to-late March. During these months, a special fee is charged for visiting the gardens and the historic Maclay House.

Step aboard the River Boat Tour at Wakulla Springs State Park for a guided journey through Florida’s ancient waterways. The boat glides over one of the world’s largest and deepest freshwater springs, which pushes out hundreds of millions of gallons of water daily.

Famous for its role as a backdrop for early Hollywood cinema, this river remains a preserved sanctuary just a short drive from Tallahassee. The tour moves at a rhythmic pace, allowing plenty of time to photograph manatees, wildlife, and the massive cypress canopy that defines the natural landscape.
