Is the NEWEST Florida State Park One of Its BEST? | Gilchrist Blue Springs

Gilchrist Blue Springs is the newest state park in Florida, and in this video, we'll show you if it's one of its best. While Florida's newest state park has been a round for many years, Gilchrist Blue Springs was purchased by the State of Florida in 2017, making it the newest state park in Florida. And while it may be new, the word on it is definitely out, as it fills up quickly on a summer day. In this video, we take you with us on a day of swimming, paddling, and hiking in Florida's newest state park, Gilchrist Blue Springs.

Thank you so much for the owners of the Serenity Terrace AIRBNB in Alachua, FL for hosting us during our visit to the Gilchrist Blue Springs area and for providing us with a discounted stay and their wonderful AIRBNB.
