Enjoy Troy Springs or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the warm spring air, or stroll down the ½ mile nature trail. Quiet morning visitors may be lucky enough to spot our family of deer, some red-shouldered hawks, or a heron or egret in the spring. With the high water, the fish and turtles are very active in the spring and can be seen from the banks. Be sure to stop in and check out our log-cabin visitor center to get the best view of the spring, learn about the park, or do the monthly craft project in the activity room.

The depths of this spring contain the remains of the Civil War-era steamboat Madison, scuttled in the spring run in 1863 to keep it from being captured. A recent addition to the state park system, Troy Spring now has an entrance road, restrooms, an accessible walkway, picnic tables, and a riverside dock for canoeists and boaters on the Suwannee River. This 70-foot deep, first magnitude spring offers opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Only open-water scuba diving is permitted and divers must be certified; no solo diving is allowed. Trails for hiking and horseback riding are being developed. Located off County Road 425, 1.3 miles north of U.S. 27.
