What a beautiful gem tucked away in central Florida. So glad we got to experience it!
That was really a memorable day!
Wow what a beautiful place. Crystal blue 💙 water. Thx
So thankful to experience this one! Enjoy your weekend!
America's Parks makes the best videos!!! This little kayak trip is on my bucket list!
Hey Joel, thanks for the kind words! So super to meet you and Sue last Sunday at church! God bless you, brother!
@@AmericasParks It was our pleasure! Your videos are wonderful, your preaching amazing!
The best video about the Emerald Cut. So fun to watch!
Thanks, Kayla!
You’ve now been to all the parks I’ve worked at 💘 wekiwa was my first park and most special place for me. Every day I went to work with my best friends helping to protect such a beautiful place. I’m glad you got to enjoy!!
Neat to hear, Hope! Such a beautiful area with very friendly people!
Wow, Randy and Julie, everything about this video is fun, adventurous and romantic. Hollywood couldn't have made a better video than this. I loved it... God Bless you both... Robin :-)
Great words, my friend! Shared them with Julie. Have a blessed week, brother!
We are now gonna go here this September because of this video! Love it!!!
Great to hear, Dawn! Enjoy your trip!
Beautiful and awesome to watch.
Much appreciated, Phyllis!
You were right in my back yard!!! The Emerald Cut is beautiful and the perfect place to paddle with children. I take my boys there all the time. If you ever come back to this area you definitely have to check out the Juniper Creek run located in Ocala National Forest, it's one of the top 25 kayaking paddles in the US. Plus, it my favorite places to kayak. Florida in the winter is wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed the visit.
Hey Davida, thanks for the kind hospitality and tip. Made a note. Beautiful area... my wife is ready to move there!
I feel envious watching other people's traveling joy in Florida this time of year, cause it is so cold in my part of the nation. This looks so much better than go to the amusement parks of Orlando Florida, of which is close by.
Right on, Ephraim! I'll takes these nature places any day!
🤩 WOW 🤩
Thanks for joining us!
Free Gatorade LOL 😆
Randy what a peaceful day on the water. I'd much rather be jumping into this water than the Utah water! That water is so clear. Your shots are perfect. The over head views are great. That cave!! Wow. Great underwater shots ...and jump!
I love how you make so many incredible trips with your family and wife. Definitely goals for this lifetime. 🙌
Thanks! So much easier now that the children are much older. Entering a new and special phase of our lives together.
You made great videos! The perfect connection between monologue and music!
Really encouraged to hear that Shirly! Thank you!
Canoes are better for kissing. Ask me how I know sometime. Gliding over those crystal clear springs must be really spectacular! Thanks for paddling; I enjoyed the ride. 😉
I'll have to remember that one when given a boating choice in the future! :)
I grew up exploring this place. Diving around those rocks and finding sharks teeth was my favorite thing to do. It’s amazing to see it here and so well represented. Great job as usual!
Great to hear, Benjamin... folks do that up here in the NJ rivers too. Nice memories. Appreciate your kind words!
@@AmericasParks that’s cool, didn’t know that. God Bless!
Great music !!!!
Thanks, had some fun putting this one together!
It's a lovely place....nice video! 👍🏻
Much appreciated!
Really pretty place🌟That water was incredible!!! No alligators😱Thanks for the great share😊
Much appreciated, Brooke!
I wondered too if gators were an issue. They didn't seem worried.
@@simplelifemoneymatters3901 Yeah, it's rare for the gators to be found by the head of the spring. Go a mile or so downstream and it's a different story.
Very beautiful views
Thanks for for watching!
This looks so cool!!
Thanks for joining us, Dawn! Beautiful Florida!
This is in my home state and I didn’t know it existed! Thank you for sharing.
Cool! Those springs in FL are amazing!
@@AmericasParks did you see the email I sent you?
@@AmericasParks can you check your email?
Cool video! I just got back from hiking in Catfish Creek State Park, I'd say it's the toughest hiking there is in Florida with a whopping 200ft elevation change 🤣🤣
Thanks, David! Just looked up the Park - impressive! Florida is so underrated in regards to classic hiking trails.
It's funny. I am always a few weeks behind you. I am going to Florida in a week to check out some parks. Thanks for sharing!
Would have been nice to meet you. Enjoy your time there!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this with us. Great video 👍
Much appreciated!
Very nice I enjoyed watching you and your wife on your trip. Your only about 2 hours from me ,I am on the west coast.Enjoy your Florida trip
Appreciate the kind words and hospitality, Rita!
Great experience! So scenic. Very beautiful parks and springs.
Thanks for the kind words!
Very cool video! You have a habit of making me want to explore parks that I might not otherwise even think about visiting!
Great to hear, Chris! Branching out to more State Parks.
The clarity of the water is just mind blowing
Just shared that one with Julie! Fun memories, my friend!
what a place!! i think the little tree island you jump off at the end might be my favorite... i love swampy areas like this, the crystal blue spring makes it even more awesome wow thanks for taking us with you
That water was majestic. We went the other way on the same river a couple days earlier and it had more of a Florida swamp feel to it. Hope to get it uploaded on Saturday.
This is a very beautiful area. The water is absolutely clear. 👍
Right on, Thomas! Enjoy your week!
That place is beautiful! Really making me want to do a Florida springs tour this year! We've been to several over the years but there's so many more we got to check out! Thanks for sharing this!
There are so many other great Florida springs!
@@AmericasParks List them pls

Randy, My wife would not forgive me if I pulled that snake joke on her! Julie is a good sport. Great job on the underwater views, the water is so clear! The 360-CAM worked great on this adventure. You are getting very good with it. Hey you look younger after swimming in that spring, maybe this is the Fountain of Youth spring that Ponce de Leon was looking for? Oh, I guess there is ANOTHER PARK for that in St. Augustine, Florida, located along Hospital Creek, part of the Intracoastal Waterway (Wikipedia says that location has been touted as the likely 1513 Florida landing site of Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon, although no evidence has been found to substantiate that claim). THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL TOUR OF THIS SPRING, . . . Mike
Interesting information, Mike! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weened!
That looks like some of the clearest water around! The kayaking journey was amazing - so beautiful. I bet it was a bit hard to paddle though - looked pretty shallow. Missing Florida right about now - and so has your skin by the look of it - looking like you've had lots of sun!
Can't beat FL weather when you arrive from the chilly NE!
Nice video! Gatorade trick could have been dangerous...for you! haha
Yeah... thankfully after 25 years together, I know I far I can go on these games!
Haha, love the free beer and man that was some canoe trip, super cool, crystal clear water and what a place to go for a swim, hopefully, no gators in there! Real colourful and a great temperature too, that was some trip Randy, really enjoyed tagging along, cheers Alan
Glad you enjoyed it, Alan!
Oh man, that was so funny how you tricked your wife to grab a Gatorade 🤣🤣. It looks like you guys got there at a good time because it wasn't super crowded, especially when you kayak along the river like that. This was so beautiful! I'm really glad you guys stopped here and were able to show us. Thanks, Randy!
Appreciate the kind words! It was the highlight of this short trip!
You guys should try juniper springs run in Ocala when its open. Great short vid.
Thanks for the tip, George! These Florida springs are amazing!
Glad you did this one, too. Tons of good state parks in FL. Unfortunately, we chose poorly and did overcrowded Ginnie Springs instead of RSR.
You'll have to do slide rock state park out here in AZ. Not as great as Sliding Rock, NC but fun nevertheless.
Thanks for the tip! Would really enjoy another trip to AZ, All the best!
Man that looks beautiful, I so miss the warm weather. Your still getting better with those cameras man! Impressive variations of shot selection! I just got home from wading across freezing desert potholes on the side of a cliff, lol.
haha! Enjoyed watching your most recent video! Flights to FLA from NJ are crazy cheap. Nice four days away with just Julie.
Hope you enjoyed my park! ; - )
You run a great place! :)
Love this channel. Nice job. Do you have a year by year timeline for future travels or do you play it by ear each year? When you started, was it national parks only and then branched to the other 423 parks? At what point did your videos go from music only to commentary?
Hey Bob, great questions! Usually plan trips year-by-year. Much of it depends on where people with me would like to go. Hope to hit Alaska in the future. Yeah, National Parks only, but since I've hit most of them I am getting more diverse. And regarding the 423, yes, at the beginning, but then determined there are other places I'd simply rather visit than merely "check a box off the list." Enjoy making music videos better, but for family memories switched more to the vlogging concept. Take care!
Such a beautiful park…and the clear water!! Not that I wanted them, but no gators there? We’ll search this place out on our next trip to FL. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care always.
Totally worth it! Yes, gators further downstream , but we heard it's very uncommon to see them closer to the opening of the spring.
That was just so beautiful. Paddling through here must have been such a dream. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Always enjoy your kind words! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful excursion, looks like a fun winter get away. How was that 72° spring fed water? Looked superb!
Thanks! Coming from the Northeast it was absolutely incredible!
Now that was interesting! My good friend Nancy sent me pictures last year on a kayak expedition she took last year in Florida. I'm not sure if it was the same area but she sent pics of gators, monkeys & manatees plus some amazing birds. On a sad note, are you aware of the couple that lost their 4 children and their maternal grandmother in a fire? The mother was the leader of the children's ministry at The Church of the Rock in Bushkill Twp Pa. I attended the Memorial this morning & was amazed at her bravery and faith. God Bless her and all that grieve. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Hello Bob, I am so saddened to learn of that story. How can we not feel the pain of the remaining family members. May the comfort of the Lord be with them.
Thanks for exposing this little known place. Excellent tour. Kissing tree! lol
Appreciate your kind words!
Good stuff MrRandy, how was the water❓❓
A constant 72 degrees. Refreshing!
You and the alligators swimming in the spring.
Thankfully it's very, very rare to find alligators near the mouth of the spring. A couple miles downstream however is a different story.
Lookin buff, Randy. Which way is the gym?
lol! Now I need to drop some of the winter weight! Enjoy your weekend!
What outfitter did you use for kayaking?

HAPPY SABBATH. 2 THINGS ABOUT CREATION. It is impossible that anything you can touch, taste, hear, see or smell on the face of the earth, be it lighting, tornados, rocks, life, minerals from salt to plutonium or anything that can be seen with the most powerful telescope we have in orbit and beyond what we can see, that could possibly exist without having been created. Because of this, we can be sure that everything that is had to be made where there was absolutely nothing to make it out of.
All creation reveals the glory of God!
Water creat my friend
Thanks you!
Is there’s any alligator there
They are there, but most are further downstream.
