WIN a Dive Right HP50 Combo dive light or a Halcyon Custom Evolve Dbls System

Madison Blue Springs State Park needs our help.#

The first magnitude spring at Madison Blue Springs State Park is a popular spot for swimming and cave diving. About 82 feet wide, 25 feet deep, and a 150-foot spring-run merging with the river, the spring bubbles up into a limestone basin along the west bank of the Withlacoochee River. Voted the #1 swimming hole in the country by USA Today in 2015, Madison Blue Springs State Park is a family favorite destination and a fantastic place to spend the day.

The stairs and deck at the headspring are over 20 years old and years of frequent flooding has severally deteriorated the structure. These steps are in such disrepair the state is considering closing this access to the spring due to safety concerns. The combined expense of hurricane Irma and the purchase of Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park has left the state with little funds to rebuild the steps and deck. The North Florida Springs Alliance has volunteered to take on this project and replace the steps and deck to ensure safe and easy access to the spring for future visitors.
