Consisting of six natural springs, the focal point of the Ruth B. Kirby Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park is the title spring itself. Located in Gilchrist County along the Santa Fe River, approximately five miles west of High Springs, the pristine, clear waters of Gilchrist Blue affords outstanding views and activities such as paddling, snorkeling, and swimming.
Gilchrist Blue became Florida’s 175th state park in 2017.
