The Ichetucknee River is a scenic river located in north-central Florida. It flows approximately six miles through a lush, natural landscape, eventually merging with the Suwannee River. The river is known for its crystal-clear waters, which are fed by several springs, making it a popular destination for swimming, tubing, and kayaking. The Ichetucknee Springs State Park protects the river and its surrounding environment, offering visitors opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and picnicking. The park is home to diverse ecosystems, including wetlands and hardwood swamps, providing habitats for various plant and animal species.
