About Little Blue Spring
Little Blue Spring is a clear freshwater spring in Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park, set just off the busier main spring area and best treated as a quiet scenic stop. Its blue pool, boardwalk access, and surrounding spring-run habitat make it a strong place for wildlife watching, while the spring itself functions more as a viewing feature than a casual water-entry site.
