Royal Springs in Live Oak, FL. Suwannee County
One of the numerous and many springs in our wonderful area of North Florida is Royal Springs. It is officially known as the Hugh Byron Hollingsworth, Sr. County Park. Royal Springs has a beautiful little park area under an oak tree canopy with covered picnic areas, tables, charcoal grills, paved side walks, and even a concreted boat ramp for boating access to the Suwannee River. The spring itself has several sets of stairs, steps, and a diving platform. Various walking trails throughout the nearby wooded areas exist as well.
Royal Springs may be moderately busy during the summer months, but there is a size-able parking area for visitors and boat launchers. It is well known to local residents but is a bit off the beaten trail. Royal is a favorite for its wooden diving platform and rope-swing off of a large Cypress tree at the corner of the spring pool.
Beauty in North FL
One of the coolest features of this park is the water run-off from the spring into the Suwannee River where a short creek forms of crystal clear water, makes a few short waterfalls (Depending on river height) and then empties out into the tea colored water of the Suwannee River.
