Ruth B. Kirby Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park — photo spot in 7450 NE 60th St, High Springs, FL 32643, USA
Ruth B. Kirby Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park
Crystal-clear spring vent with vivid turquoise water, natural swimming area, boardwalks and an observation tower framed by live oaks and cypress—ideal for water, landscape and wildlife (manatees in winter) photography. Best at sunrise for calm water reflections and warm light; winter mornings for manatees; overcast days deepen turquoise tones. Park has a paved lot, boardwalk access, and a small state-park entrance fee—arrive early on weekends. Drones are typically restricted; check park rules.
