The crystal clear (and unedited) water at Fanning Springs State Park. You can see all of the rock formations on the bottom below. Nice place to go if you're looking to swim! Manatees have been spotted here in the colder months. There are many other springs in the area so you can visit a few in one day!
I was heading back to Alabama from visiting my family in Florida when I pulled over at Ft. Fanning State Park to take a break. It's located right on the banks of the Historic Suwannee River, and as an 8th generation native-born Floridian, I had to get a shot of the Historic Suwannee River!. #river #tree #oaks #moss #sunshine #nature #historic #springtime #bluewater #outdoors #graysky #Ft.Fanning #Florida #USA #TheSouth #memories #roadtrip
