Weekend trip to Ichetucknee Springs
The picture above am being told its like a picture from a travel website, but its not yet. I took this photo standing on overlook boardwalk.
This is the north entrance, where small kids can enjoy a little water. The kids have to be well watched as it just drops off, we made sure the grandkids had life jackets even though they knew how to swim.

Here is a closer look at the steps for kids to get in, you can see in background people snorkeling for wild life and looking at the underwater caves.
My grandson Alex who loves hikes, every time we go on family trips, he always follows along with me when I hike. This hike resulted in me being in lots of pain on hike back from the gallbladder which is scheduled to be removed at 11AM eastern. So, that is why posting this blog early.
My twin and brother-in-law snorkeling in the blue hole which is 40 foot deep with lots of caves to explore if you are experienced certified diver. If you are caught diving without proof of certification, you will be asked to leave the park with 1st warning of suspension of 30 days.
Another park rule is Food and dogs, there are lots of picnic areas for you to set up on picnic tables but keep in coolers closed up and no food near water. No dogs allowed near water, only in picnic area or hiking trails. As gators are attracted to dogs, as dogs are like chocolate to gators.
We watched several people try let their dogs swim in the springs, they were asked to take them to picnic area or trails, but they wouldn't listen and were escorted off the park. I love my dogs too, but when you take your dogs with you to springs like this putting everyone in danger along with your dogs.
My 3 year old granddaughter sleep the entire time there because her mom the night before gave her kids melatonin for her to rest and enjoy the day, which didn't suit her. So, my daughter could enjoy watching her boys swim, I sat at picnic area half of the time there holding Lily why she slept. My daughter felt so bad Lily missed out, so we are planning another trip in August before school starts back.
Overall, a great place to have some summer fun or hiking.
