Peacock Springs State Park has two major springs, a spring run, and six sinkholes - all in near pristine condition. One of the longest underwater cave systems in the continental United States, about 28,000 feet of underwater passages have been explored and surveyed by cave divers. Only divers who have proof of their scuba certification are allowed to explore the underwater caverns. Mature forest stands around the springs represent four major natural plant communities. A nature trail leads visitors on a path tracing the twisting tunnels of the caves far below their feet. Swimming in Peacock Spring and Orange Grove Sink are popular activities during the summer. Grills and pavilions are available for picnicking. Located 16 miles southwest of Live Oak on State Road 51, two miles east of Luraville on Peacock Springs Road.

Certified cave divers are drawn to this unique place from all over the world and even non-divers can enjoy the extraordinary and intricate cave system. During your walk you may see turkey, deer, squirrel, a variety of birds and possibly a few reptiles. The springs are still warm enough for swimming and of course there is year round scuba and cave diving. Come visit the Real Florida; come visit Peacock Springs State Park.
