Lafayette Blue Springs State Park

Lafayette Blue Springs State Park is a natural spring park in Mayo, Florida, featuring a limestone spring system that produces millions of gallons of water daily. Multiple pools connected by natural features flow toward the Suwannee River through a scenic corridor.

Indigenous communities relied on this spring area as a vital water source long before European contact reached the region. The land later became a designated state park, protecting this natural resource for future generations.

The springs shaped how indigenous people lived here long ago, using the reliable water source for survival and travel through the region.

The park offers elevated rental cabins and primitive camping sites for different visitor preferences and budgets. A boat ramp provides easy water access for exploring the river system and swimming in the spring pools.

The spring maintains a constant cool temperature year-round, supporting diverse plant and animal life in its clear waters. This steady water condition creates habitats that remain relatively unchanged through all seasons.
