The Lodge at Wakulla Springs State Park

Surrounded by 6,000 acres of pristine forest, The Lodge at Wakulla Springs State Park was built in 1937 by Edward Ball. It is one of the most beautiful buildings of its period. The Lodge at Wakulla State Park is designated as a Historic Hotel of America by the National Trust For Historic Preservation. Enjoy fine dining in the Edward Ball dining room serving upscale southern cuisine, or have an ice cream at the world’s longest marble soda fountain. The World’s longest marble bar stands at 70 feet 3 inches and was cut from one single slab of marble.
