Green springs was a really unexpected gem! Loved it there!
I’m obsessed with green springs!
Lovely! I have not visited all of these, so I need to get going!
So many good options!
Looks so good!!!
I've been to all of these. Most are within 30 mins away from my house, minus Gilchrist and Devils Den. Florida springs are absolutely amazing. Silver Glen and Alexander are 2 of my favorites.
That is so lucky to be so close!!
And no gators?
I travel 340 and pass two these daily. We launch our boat at heart stop by the sand bar then drive down to fanning. Its a great experience.
Fantastic job with this! 🙌
Thank you!!!
Great video and great springs in Florida. In April I will visit this area and it will be difficult to choose between all these beautiful springs
Yay!!!! I recommend staying in High Springs area or Mount Dora and choosing ones nearby and day tripping
Been to most of these. Born and raised in Central Florida. Heading to Weeki Wachee in a week. Should be a good time
Yay!!! Have fun!
Bucket list for me. I need to visit more Florida springs! 💦
You do!!!
You've included some of my faves! I love to see you clowning all over Florida!
You know it 😂
Great video ❤
Thanks for sharing about green springs!
It’s really unique!!
I'd never heard of Emerald Springs. It looks amazing. I will have to visit. I've been to most of the others. Going to Rainbow today!!! Thanks to your vid. TY!
Thank you! CALL AHEAD to ask if emerald cut is CLEAR! If it has rained there may be tannins in the water making it brown!
@@FollowMeAway Went to Rainbow today. It was EVERYTHING you said and MORE! Thank you again for the info.
@@sharon4951we went to Emerald Cut just yesterday and it was absolutely amazing, highly recommend it.
Blue Springs is my favorite park in Florida. Love tubing there. Other good ones not mentioned are Ichetucknee Springs, Royal Spring (not a state park but has an awesome jumping platform), and Three Sisters Springs.
Love the jumping platform! Great suggestions
Ichetucknee is amazing. I love Blue Springs. Been there countless times.
Im sure everyone will till you that you missed # 1 Ichetucknee. Otherwise your first two Kelly Park and Silver Glen are my numbers 1 and 2 for local springs (within 1.5 hrs drive). Thanks for creating this valuable video.
Thanks for sharing!!
Love this video!! Super helpful, I was looking for springs to visit in June and I’m glad I watched it because I didn’t see Weeky wachee here so it might not be the best 😅. Thank you!!
It is a great place, but they no longer allow swimming in the spring room for the kayaks for preservation! It is really nice, but it isn’t one of my top favorites but it’s still a lovely option close to Tampa!
Slightly incorrect you can swim and snorkel. What is not allowed is Anchoring, mooring, beaching and grounding of boats or kayaks in the river is now prohibited from Rogers Park through the state park. Weeki Waachi is fabulous.
I had no idea there were that many natural springs in Florida, looks fun to explore there.
visit wakulla springs fl. just south of tallahassee glass bottom boats a lodge and a diveing platform
Yes!! Great tip!
Excellent video. Well done ! :)
Thank you!
Hey which spring would you recommend that is scenic to kayak or paddle? Also can you recommend a scenic, lushy trail? Will be visiting in Orlando soon! 🥹❤️
HIGHLY recommend emerald cut near Orlando for paddling! I would call ahead to ask if the water is clear and blue just to be sure and then go next door to rock springs! It’s right near!
I really want to go to these!!
You must go!!!
You must go!!!
1 and 8 is our favorite
Love that!!!
Does Rock Springs have alligarors?
Out of the ones I’ve been to, I like Alexander and Deleon
Alexander is great!
@ I need to go back to Alexander; I went back to Deleon yesterday and actually on 2nd thought, the swimming area isn’t that great. Lots of algae, dirt, and rocks coming in my mouth at the bottom
Can you please make a video about the springs that allowed to Snorkeling/Scuba , …a List of Springs I mean … thank you in advance 🙏🏽
Great idea! Most of the springs on this list allow snorkeling but not all allow scuba diving
This list is amazing! However I must say that I'm hurt you didn't mention the various springs in ponce de león, vortex, Morrison and ponce de león springs itself (i dont know if there's anymore, thats just the three I've been too personally) all of them are beautiful.
I love them all! But sadly the days I went it was VERY gloomy and the footage looks quite bad and Morrison was browned out so I couldn’t go. I considered adding vortex but it was gloomy and didn’t highlight it at its best :(
Ive been to devils den for a school field trip (I go to a very special school that takes us on field trips every week)
IT WAS SUPER COLD
It IS super cold! That’s an amazing trip!
What about Homosassa Springs State park and swimming area?
I’ve never been!
Can I ask you if it is a good time to visit Florida springs during February? What is the weather like? Is it suitable for swimming?
Can be anything from chilly to warm. I’ve done Feb trips where it’s like 50-60F and that makes the 72F water feel much warmer than the air! You don’t wanna get out!
have you ever gone to Poe springs or Fanning springs?
I’ve been to Poe I thought it was only okay I’ve STILL not gone to fanning bc everytime I try to go it’s browned out from the rains so the water isn’t clear and rangers tell me don’t even bother coming! This has happened every time I’ve tried! But it looks AMAZING
@@FollowMeAway Oh wow, good to know. I stay in Gainesville every July and planned on a Fanning trip this year (never saw it yet) wonder if I should skip?
Thank you ,, 🙏🏻
Of course!!!
Just checked out silver glen, water was nice and cold!!😅
For sure!
Looks like fun! Are there any crocodiles? 😱🐊
No crocodiles! But there is always the possibility of alligators
@@FollowMeAway what are the chances that they will attack you?
@@FollowMeAwaywhat about venomous snakes 🐍
Salt Springs is nice too. Not commercialized
It is nice!! But idk how I feel about the crabs there 😬
How about wakulla spring and Newport spring
Both good!
Is morrison any good? That is the closest one to me
It looks AMAZING! Every time I’ve tried to go it’s been browned out aka the rain water makes the river high and it floods into the clear spring making it brown. So I think it looks amazing I’ve just not been able to go!
Morrison Spring is cool because it's completely free and has a few facilities and has tons of parking. Can get crowded. It's not a state park so it's not as regulated. Mainly for swimming and jumping from trees. And not to mention it's convenient off of I-10 but people driving through don't know about it.
Any no see um?
I’m usually there during the daytime and I’ve not noticed any
How is wiki Weeki Wachee out on this list?
Just not in my top 10! There are over 700 springs in florida some had to go
In emerald cut how much to rent a kayak?
Its $49 for a single kayak, $69 for a double and $59 for a canoe!
Just a FYI. The 2nd w in Wekiwa is pronounced as a "v" (Wekiva). I used to swim there a LOT as a child!
My pronunciation is the proper indigenous pronunciation :) but yes a lot of people say it with the V
Does it have gators?
@itzkp5821 any body of water in Florida has gators.
Blue Grotto
That’s a good one!!!
Wait...which ones are alligator free??? Surely not just devils den
Yes just devils den! Thats it!
Can I bring my own raft and kayak?
Depends on which spring I would call ahead or check their website
Blue springs. is in orange city fl not Orlando 😂
I said ‘near’ Orlando :)
Uh. The gators can fall in...
gators aren’t stupid enough to walk into a random giant hole in the ground
If you go to Ocala you’ve reached a new low unless you work with horses
Highly disagree it’s a beautiful part of the state
@@FollowMeAway way better parts been here my whole life
Those are not the best springs. Wekiwa really. It doesn’t make the top 30. Others on your list barely make the top 25. Unsubscribed.
