Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, 465 Wakulla Park Drive, Wakulla Springs, FL 32327
(850) 561-7276 (Park is open 365 days a year, 8:00 am until sunset).
Wakulla Springs State Park is a 6,000-acre wildlife sanctuary quietly hidden in Spanish moss-draped Florida woodlands. 30 minutes from Tallahassee, the heart of the park is the world famous Wakulla Springs. Cool water flows from the majestic springs to create the Wakulla River, one of the last pristine rivers in Florida.
Today we took a ride on their boat tour. It's a 3 mile River Tour, and takes about 45 minutes to cruise on the river. Here are some pictures I took. I saw my first manatee, allegator and many birds.
Click on any picture to enlarge it for viewing. I had fun looking up these birds I saw.

| 3 Manatee's touching noses. They look like "blobs" under the water, so even though I saw many today, I won't post any more pictures of them. |
