The invigorating 70 degree waters are sure to refresh you on even the hottest summer days. The historic lodge is an elegant remnant of old Florida, and the ancient cypress swamps made the perfect backdrop for old Hollywood movies. Wakulla Springs is a place where history stretches back thousands of years, from early Native Americans who lived in shoreline villages to filmmakers who recognized the primeval quality of the parks swamps and wildlife when they decided to film Tarzans Secret Treasure (1941) and Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) here. Today, visitors can swim where mastodons once roamed and take guided boat tours where dugout canoes once glided across the cool waters. Alligators, manatees and an abundance of bird life can all be seen. Visitors can also marvel at a 1930s Spanish style lodge with its period furniture, original elevators and colorful painted ceilings that depict wildlife and Old Florida scenes.

Send this to someone who needs a peaceful day outside.
Paddle the Wacissa River and see why it’s a local favorite! The calm current and wide channels make it ideal for beginners, families, or anyone who just needs a slow day on the water. Bring a picnic and let the river set the pace for the afternoon.

Keep an eye out for turtles, birds, and other wildlife along the way! 🐢

What a night. The Empress of Soul and seven time Grammy winner Gladys Knight took the Adderley stage and gave a performance that felt timeless. A night Tallahassee won’t forget. Thank you everyone who came out to the incredible performance!
