There are two ways to get to Ginnie from State Route 47:
Approximately two miles south of the Santa Fe River you will see a green sign mounted on top of a pole along the highway's shoulder, indicating the approaching turn off to Ginnie Springs. This is a county lime rock road and sometimes is in poor repair. We suggest that you proceed past the sign to the flashing yellow light at County Road 340. Turn left and go approximately 2 miles to NE 60th Ave (look for the Ginnie sign). Turn left and go about one mile further to the Ginnie Springs Outdoors entrance.
Getting to Ginnie Springs Outdoors from Jacksonville
Use these directions if you are driving south on Interstate
95 from Georgia, or coming west from Jacksonville on I-10. From I-95 south,
take I-295 to skirt the outside of Jacksonville. From Jacksonville, take
I-10 west for approximately 25 minutes, to Exit 48 (the second Macclenny
exit). At the CR-236 intersection, turn right and continue for approximately
ten minutes. In the process, you will cross I-75 and enter the town of High
Springs. Continue straight through the two stop lights in High Springs, and
go approximately one-half mile further to the turn off for County Road
340/NE 182nd Avenue. (You will see a sign on top of a pole indicating that
this is the turn off for Ginnie, Blue and Poe Springs.) Turn right on to
County Road 340 and go approximate 6.5 miles, to the sign indicating the
turn off to Ginnie Springs (NE 60th Ave.) Turn right at the sign (NE 60th
Ave.) and go approximately one mile further to the Ginnie Springs Outdoors
entrance. From exit 48, take State Route 121 south, through the towns of
Raiford, Lake Butler, Dukes and Worthington Springs. Approximately 30
minutes after exiting I-10, you will pass through the town of Worthington
Springs. At the south end of town, you will cross the Santa Fe River bridge.
A little less than three miles further, you will see the turn off for County
Road 236.
Getting to Ginnie Springs Outdoors from I-75, Heading
North
Use these directions if you are driving north on Interstate 75 from the
Tampa Bay are, or from Florida's Turnpike, coming through Orlando. Take I-75

north approximately five miles to the town of High Springs. At the first
stop light in High Springs (at the Hardee's), turn left. Continue through
the next stop light, at the center of town, and go approximately one-half
mile further to the turn off for County Road 340/NE 182nd Avenue. (You will
