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.

❄️ Six months ago this week, Tallahassee traded sunshine for snow, and for one unforgettable day, Florida`s Capital turned into a winter wonderland. Under a clear, bright blue sky, locals and visitors bundled up, built snowmen, and soaked in the rare magic. It didn’t last long, but the memories did. So while we’re melting in this July heat, here’s a little throwback to the coolest day of the year. ☃️
