- When you visit Rock Springs Kelly Park for the first time it can be a little confusing about where to go and what to do. This video will help familiarize you to the layout of the park before your first visit.
In real time you will see the journey from the park entrance... to the parking lot... to the main pool area... and finally to the head spring and down the entire run (first run + pool area + second run).
We visited on Friday** morning, June 18, 2021 @9:30 AM.
**ON WEEKENDS YOU MUST ARRIVE EARLIER OR PARK WILL BE FULL AND YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY!
Always call first to verify the park is open.

The spring looks amazing 😎
Thanks this will be my first time going
Have a great time, Donna!
Thanks for this video! We are going here today for the first time and I wasn't sure what to expect. I love that you filmed the entire thing. :)
How was the experience?
Brings back a lot of memories. I grew up going there hundreds of times.
Wow , I remember visiting this park when I was a kid during the summer , GOOD TIMES 😉
what time do you recommend arriving?
I have lived here for 30 yrs, and this is still my most favorite spot in Fl. It's peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, the water is invigorating, especially when it's 100 out, it's like a little slice of heaven, right here on earth. Better than any theme park
My cousin and I used to go to Rock Springs 60 years ago it was nothing like this!!
Thank you i get so much anxiety exploring! You have no idea how valuable your vid is❤
Awesome video! We are going for our first time in a few weeks and this was really helpful 😀
is it possible to go for a hike and then go to the springs after? I would like to do a hike first but am afraid that the hike location and the spring parking is separate and they wouldn't let my car in after hiking.
they have a boardwalk that goes back some, and there are small dirt paths off of the boardwalk as well
Nice park! Well done on the video. Great place to explore. New follower here. Crow✌️
This was so helpful! Thank you
Are there any gators around? I heard you can expect to see alligators any where in Florida.
Gators are possible, but I've never seen one there. I have heard about gators showing up in other springs in the area (Blue Spring, Wekiva Springs) but it is fairly rare.
HI! OMGosh thank you thank you thank you so much for posting this amazing video!!!! This was so so helpful! You are so good at this, I would love to see you do videos of the others Florida springs!! :) I have a question, do you know about how far it is from the end of the spring back to the second spring entry the I believe there are stairs? . My mother would love this but she can only walk about 1/4-1/2 mile tops at a time.. and she would need a gentle beach entry and/or stairs to get in (rather than sliding off the rocks into the spring) bc she has limited mobility and. Thank you in advanced!!
Can you bring your own floats?
Thanks for the video!!!! We are going here on Mother’s Day!!! I Iwanted to know what to expect
Make sure to arrive by 8 am at the very latest! They only let about 280 cars in the gate before they reach capacity
@@annetteroberts3040 do you know about how far it is from the parking lot and also from the end of the spring back to the second shallower spring entry? My mother would love this but she can only walk about 1/4-1/2 mile tops at a time.. and she would need a gentle beach entry and/or stairs to get in (rather than sliding off the rocks into the spring) bc she has limited mobility and. Thank you in advanced!!
Is it busy in the winter? We will be in Florida mid December and would like to go here.
It's much less crowded in the winter. Mid December will be a really good time to visit.
It will be far less crowded in the winter..
Thanks for sharing. Did you experience a lot of raccoons at night? and what about mosquitoes? Just curious.
I've never camped there - only day trips. So I can't say what goes on at night....
Thank you soooooo much for the detailed video.. The walking part is something that some don't think about but the walking part and the walking conditions are a huge deal for someone like me so thank you
Thanks! Glad I could help.
do i reserve to visit the kellypark?
Anyone been in the cave to the right?
Are you able to walk the entire spring run ?
The very beginning of the run at the spring head is deep. But quickly gets shallow at the bridge. Some sections are hard to walk on because of big rocks. I actually tripped and cut my knee making this video.
Thanks for the video! I plan to visit in September
How long did it take you guys to float down the river?
We were snorkeling so we go faster. Floating probably takes about 20 minutes for the first run.
my car is there
Hey what time did you get there , I want to go this 4july
We went on a weekday, so it wasn't full when we arrived at 9:30. It was full when we left at noon. I haven't been on a weekend in a long time, but I think you'll need to get there before they open at 8:00. I hear it fills up QUICKLY on weekends and holidays.
Nice video, do they rent the tube or I have to bring my own?
You can rent tubes at the "Rock Springs Bar & Grill" just outside the park. They do not rent tubes inside the park. You can also bring your own tube.
Is there a lot of gators?
I've never seen a gator there myself. I hear they'll wander into the park occasionally.
loooooooonnnnnnnnggggg walk
you leave your stuff there???? nobody bothers it?????
@@pam2viph oh gosh, good point!
where can you rent tubes? Is it open in october?
Rent tubes at Rock Springs Bar & Grill just outside the park. You can't miss it. They don't rent tubes inside the park. Open year round.
Thank you!
Is it busy in the winter? We are going to be in Florida mid December and would like to go here.
@@KongZilla83 this id like to know too but for November, now.
Because we are here till 17th November and would like to go tomorrow.
@@beakoe8334 I would highly recommend.. you can bring your own tubes or rent them by the red light intersection before you go into Kelly Park. Bring under water camera and snorkel gear too. It shouldn’t be crowed right now. Float all the way down to the end. It’s a joy and feels like you’re in the Amazon with clear water.
