A first date idea
Ichetucknee Springs State Park
The Ichetucknee River near Fort White is 6 miles long and fed by eight major springs, and the Blue Hole stays at 72 degrees all year. The park is open from 8am to sunset and costs $6 per vehicle. On busy weekends it can close once it is full, so go early.
