Fanning Springs

Located along the famed Suwannee River, Fanning Springs is the northern gateway into Levy County from US 19. It began in the mid-1800s as a steamboat port with a post office and a few other establishments.

It has grown into a picturesque community, with the popular Fanning Springs State Park and the nearby Fort Fanning Historical Park across the road. The spring produces between 40 to 60 million gallons of water a day; the fort was occupied by soldiers during the Second Seminole War.
