Troy Springs State Park Reopens

Exciting News: Troy Springs State Park Reopens!

After months of closure due to high water levels and hurricane damage, we’re thrilled to announce that Troy Springs State Park is officially open to visitors once again! Nature enthusiasts, swimmers, and history buffs can now return to enjoy this hidden gem in the heart of Florida.

Why the Park Was Closed

Earlier this year, rising water levels made it unsafe for visitors to access the park’s iconic spring and surrounding areas. Shortly after, hurricanes swept through the region, leaving a trail of damage that required extensive cleanup and restoration efforts. Thanks to the hard work of park staff and local volunteers, Troy Springs has been restored to its former glory and is ready to welcome visitors.

What Makes Troy Springs Special

Troy Springs is known for its crystal-clear spring that stays a refreshing 72 degrees year-round, making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. The park is also home to the remains of a Civil War-era steamboat, the Madison, which sank in the spring and offers a unique glimpse into Florida’s history. Visitors can also enjoy picnic areas, hiking trails, and opportunities to spot local wildlife in this serene natural setting.

Park staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that all amenities are safe and accessible. Please remember to respect park guidelines and practice Leave No Trace principles to help keep Troy Springs pristine.
