A nature trail offers a leisurely walk along the upland wooded areas of the park. The Wakulla Springs Lodge was built in 1937 by financier Edward Ball and is open year-round. A full-service dining room overlooks the spring; lodge meeting facilities offer an excellent place for retreats. Wakulla Springs State Park and Lodge is listed on the Natural Register of Historic Places and is designated as a National Natural Landmark. To reserve a guest or meeting room, please call the park.

Wakulla Springs also manages the diving at nearby Cherokee Sink. $4 admission per car load and they give you the gate key so you do not have to park at the remote lot and schlep gear in. Cherokee was a fun but cold (for a Florida spring at 66 degrees) dive. It is kind of a local party spot so bringing a bag for clean up is a good idea.

Diving is not allowed in the Spring itself. However, the State does have an annual spring cleanup where you can sign up and dive to help remove the trash and excess vegetation. Diving in the Wakulla River itself is nice further down stream. Arrow heads and some prehistoric bones can be found.
