    I was there this week. My husband, sister, and sister’s husband went on a short trip. The springs weren’t as busy as I’ve seen them get in other videos I watched for research purposes, but there were people there. Luckily not enough to make it feel crowded. We floated down the river on an inflatable rafter and got to see lots of turtles and just soak up the sun. We viewed Dogwood Spring and then walked to Ginnie Spring and swam there. The springs are sooooo clear and cool and refreshing. They are beautiful. I definitely recommend bringing or renting goggles/diving mask to view the water from underneath the surface. It is gorgeous. We stayed in an AirBnb right around the corner from the Great Outdoors restaurant and we traveled to Gainesville to experience other restaurants, including Gator’s Dockside that had an amazing Cajun shrimp pasta. I highly recommend staying in High Springs or Gainesville and going to Ginnie Springs.

      Lots of people bring kids but it’s about 3 feet deep in the shallowest parts so it’s not good for super little ones. Think of it like the shallow area of the pool with steps. There isn’t a little beach area

      @@apuz13 I might add if you go into the ballroom at the grate it's about 55 if I remember right. If your cavern the Devils system in the gallery area is about 60. If your cavern certified most of the tunnels are around 90 but can get deeper or shallower. If your a really advanced cave diver the new section has some deeper areas

    We started going there in the early 80s. And probably 3-4 times a year. But no more. This is not a hidden gem any more. All of the area springs are so over crowded. Weekends are horrible, loud Spanish music plays all knight. 10 o'clock is supposed to be quite time at night but no one their to enforce that rule. Employees leave at the end of the day,and you are on your own. NO PIECE AT ALL BECAUSE EVERYBODY NOW BRINGS GENERATORS,HUNDREDS OF THESE THANGS RUN ALL NITE LONG. TO POWER STEREO EQUIPMENT AT HIGH LEVELS. FEELS LIKE AFTER A HURRICANE HAS COME THROUGH. THE SPANISH COMMUNITY HAS TAKEN OVER THIS WITH NO REGARD TO ANYONE ELSE. IF YOU GO HERE I RECOMMEND GOING ON TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY. TO AVOID ALL THE RIFF RAFF,DOPE SMOKE AND JUST A TON OF UNRULY DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE.
