While some states may have tiered waterfalls that connect to swimming holes below, here in Florida we have crystal-clear first magnitude springs. Sound pretty dreamy? We have the perfect one to add to your summer bucket list. This long-time Old Florida swimming spot is tucked away in Madison Blue Springs State Park and it is a delightful way to stay cool all summer. Just make sure you’re well-versed on everything there is to know about this swimming hole in Florida before you adventure out.
If ever you’ve visited Madison Blue Springs State Park, it’ll be easy to see why this spring was voted the number one swimming hole in the country by USA Today.
It should be noted that accessibility may be limited for some - there are stairs that you must walk down in order to reach the swimming hole. Also, lifeguards are not on duty here, it is swimming at your own risk always.
The surrounding area is lush with foliage, between the mixed hardwoods and pines towering to shade the sun, and the vibrant flora surrounding the spring.
