As a strong 2nd magnitude spring, Fanning Springs provides refreshing swimming or snorkeling. Arrive by boat or car and enjoy the water, picnic area, playground, volleyball court, or the large open space for ballgames, frisbee or events. Canoes and kayaks can be launched from the park and a boardwalk overlooks the river. In summer the gazebo at the end of the walk is a fine place to watch sturgeon jumping. Manatees are often seen during the winter and sometimes in summer. Wildlife and birds can be observed from the park’s nature trails. Five rental cabins are available through the Reserve America system. Due to limited space and facilities the only camping allowed is for those who paddle, bike or walk in. Arrangements can be made in advance through the park office or upon arrival if space is available.
