In 1937, financier Edward Ball took his idea of quiet elegance and placed it gently in the most serene place he’d found on his international travels, Wakulla Springs. He imported marble and tile, hired artisans in iron and stone, and introduced to the world a most unique retreat.
This world-class wildlife viewing event takes visitors on a two mile loop downstream and back among majestic bald cypress trees, elegant wading birds and toothy alligators. Manatees are often sighted, but their presence is not dependable. A camera is highly recommended to capture the candid images of the river’s fauna. The ranger-led tour not only highlights the wildlife, but often includes stories of human interactions with the spring.
The Lodge at Wakulla Springs is not only one of the most elegant buildings of its period but also one of the few where you can stay overnight.
