Ichetucknee Springs 5K

Enjoy a beautiful trail run at Ichetucknee Springs State Park! Come for the run and stay for the fun! Following the race enjoy the spring and its crystal clear waters. Itchetucknee Springs is a favorite spot for tubing, kayaking, and swimming!  Although well-known for its warm weather tubing, Ichetucknee Springs State Park is a 2,669-acre wildlife haven where beaver, otter, gar, softshell turtle, wild turkey, wood duck, and limpkin all find a home. The main draw is the park’s eight major crystal-clear springs that join to create the 6-mile Ichetucknee River. The upper portion within the state park is a National Natural Landmark, perhaps the most pristine spring run in the state, and best enjoyed by canoe or kayak during the cooler months. Three nature trails guide visitors through the lush park forest or a majestic sandhill environment with towering longleaf pines.  View the park map online here   Other Activities: Tubing
