[1][2] Ginnie Springs has been privately owned by the Wray family since 1971 and began functioning in 1976.

In the mid-1990s when scuba diving grew in popularity, Bob Wray opened the springs to the public.

[3] Today in addition to diving, customers can swim, snorkel, canoe, kayak, stand up paddleboard, and tube along the Santa Fe River.

Due to the crystal-clear water of the spring, it is easy to view wildlife as well as wreaths underneath.

In 2021, the Suwannee River Water Management District Governing Board approved a permit that granted Nestle permission to take over 1.1 million gallons daily from the aquifer that feeds Ginnie and other nearby springs to expand its bottled-water operations.
