Blue Springs State Park
2100 W. French Ave., Orange City., 386-775-3663
A 45-minute drive from downtown brings you to a refreshing getaway cove. The water may be a chill 72 degrees, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking a dip in this spring. If that doesn’t suit your fancy, rent a canoe and go searching for manatees; Blue Springs is a favorite hangout of the gentle sea cow.
