Fodor's Review:
Known for having one of the deepest springs in the world, the very picturesque and highly recommended Wakulla Springs State Park remains relatively untouched, retaining the wild and exotic look it had in the 1930s, when the films Tarzan and Creature from the Black Lagoon were shot here. Take a glass-bottom boat deep into the lush, jungle-lined waterways to catch glimpses of alligators, snakes, nesting limpkins, and other waterfowl. It costs only $50 to rent a pontoon boat and go it alone. It may be worth it since an underground river flows into a pool so clear you can see the bottom more than 100 feet below. The park is 15 mi south of Tallahassee on Route 61. If you can't pull yourself away from this idyllic spot, spend the night in the 1930s Spanish-Mediterranean lodge (see below).
- Cost: $4 per vehicle, up to 8 people; boat tour $6
- Open: Daily 8-sunset, boat tours hourly 9:30-4:30
