This is a beautiful and family oriented place to go that is unlike other places. It is free and has many attractions. There are walking trails and caves. One of the caves has had bales of hay droped in and it comes out a Mammoth Spring Ark in one of the largest springs in the world. The surrounding state park has picnic tables and covered pavalos. paddle boats to ride in the big spring. For a fee, there is a fish hatchery to tour, a train caboose you can go in and several other sites. Just below the beautiful spring river is always full of fisherman busy catching their supper.
