Florida is well known for its agritourism appeal, with plenty of visitors to the Sunshine State enjoying the lush beaches and picturesque locales.
However, one spot in Florida stands above the others as the most “breathtaking natural marvel” in the state, according to 247Tempo.

The website listed out the best marvels in each state, and Florida’s turned out to be Juniper Springs.
The U.S. Forest Service lists those springs as one of the “oldest and best-known recreation areas on the East Coast,” being found in the Ocala National Forest near State Road 40.

Juniper Springs’ recreation area offers activities like boating, camping, hiking and swimming for guests, making it a great spot for tourists.
Meanwhile, the Tallulah Gorge ranked as the top marvel for the state of Georgia.
The 2-mile-long gorge measures nearly 1,000 feet deep, and visitors can hike the rim trails or walk the nearby suspension bridge to get a better view of the surrounding state park, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
On the other side of Florida, Alabama’s top marvel was listed as the Stephens Gap, a cave in Woodville with a 143-foot pit.
The cave is located on private property, and would-be spelunkers are required to get a permit if they want to travel down the depths, according to Save Your Caves.
For visitors who don’t want to take the plunge, the cave still offers a view that is described as “one of the most photographed wild cave scenes in North America.”
