Anyone interested in things like that, and are in the general area (during the summer!), ought to visit.
As far as I know, only swimming and tubing is allowed on the river--kayak-ers, as far as I can remember, and definitely canoeists, are not allowed. There are nature trails, and other of the requisite state park stuff like that, too.
Ichetucknee's only 20-25 miles off of I-75, in the northern part of the state. I-75 is 6-lanes there, and runs along the "spine" of Florida. Going south, you pass by Lake City, Gainesville, and Ocala. The road continues its same pattern until about 30 minutes south of Ocala, where it heads southwest. To get to Ichetucknee State Park, you would need to turn west between Lake City and Gainesville.
That's the end of my remarks about geography and such, lest I be rebuked by a moderator for being
