The water is crystal clear and usually around 73°F (23°C) during the swimming season.

The freshwater spring of Blue Spring State Park is a manatee refuge. From November to mid-March, it is home to hundreds of West Indian Manatees, along with a wide range of other animals including tropical birds, and turtles, squirrels and even alligators.
