Rolling Hikes Program
Access For All
Using an all-terrain tracked chair, any visitor can experience the scenic trails at Blue Spring State Park. The chair is FREE, but reservations are required.
Rolling Hikes are closed until October 2026 due to the summer heat. You can still secure your spot for October today!
The Friends of Blue Spring State Park have teamed up with Save the Manatee® Club to offer you a special opportunity! When you symbolically adopt a real living manatee through our links, you not only support the efforts of the Club, you also support us, the Friends of Blue Spring State Park!
