Awesome job with the video! Florida is home to 735 springs to put on your bucket list. I have personally visited over 100 and it just makes one want to find more to enjoy. FYI Google maps has most locations.
Windows to the aquifer!
Awesome video buddy. Can't wait to get out there!
Looks very crystal clear it is so beautiful
They are :)
I agree that Madison Blue Springs is a great one! I live in Madison, so we often go there regularly. :)
Love it! It's a great stop off for a swim when we are traveling through the area. I'd love to do a long paddle on the Withlacoochee sometime.
I live in Old Town, Fl. Roughly 4 miles from Fanning, such a beautiful park
It sure is! We were just there last week.
Ichetucknee! and this is making me realize I need to go back.
Curtis, if you guys aren't getting paid for these, you should! Just beautiful.
+Adria Waldbart thank you Adria! The Iche is one of my all time favorites. Miss you!
How busy is the Ichetucknee after the colleges go back to school. I used to go there a lot as a kid. Noticed now that they only allow 700 people onto the river. I suspect this is through the summer. Could not find anything about this after summers. I want to go mid week to get the best possibility of quite time on the river and not 700 others on the river.
It's pretty chill in the off season. The kids are back in school (or will be soon depending on county/school). Now is the time!
That is my thinking too. Going to try to kayak it later this month of Sept for sure. Been a very long time since I have done that river. Tks
I was just there this Friday during the off-season. Arrived around noon, and we were the only ones. Then again, we got poured on by rain about 35 minutes down stream.
haven't been to any of those 5. Been to Ginnie Springs, Devils Den, Blue Grotto, Rainbow River, and 1 or 2 more small ones I forgot the names of
Very cool. Hope you enjoy the rest of my videos. I have several of these featured on my channel.
Great trailer has been fun to watch it!
The sad part is that everyone that goes to these places also puts on Sunscreen/Suntan lotion. These products have chemicals that affect the water in a negative way. You should mention that in your videos! People should NOT put on these things when getting into the water!!!
Cesar E Quevedo c'mon cesar....these springs are in very good shape, pristine, well managed and crystal clear. Whatever sunscreen u have on is negligible sense the springs are renewed at the rate of millions of gallons an hour.
It is true that most sunblocks have chemicals on them that is harmful to aquatic life. Good point.
Maybe I'm overzealous about this, but I like how in other countries they think of "everything"...unlike here. That's sad...considering this is supposed to be ad advanced nation. That's all!
The springs stay pristine because they are constantly changing with new flow daily..for example, Rainbow springs dumps over 100 million gallons a day into the gulf and receiving the same amount via the aquifer. All new, each and every day, every spring in florida.
@@macawlf Whew! What springs are you going to? Rainbow Springs has never been cleaner because of very strict rules on what can be brought in. I live in Dunnelon and have watched the springs become much better versus even 15 years ago. Still teeming with life and brilliant colors. Could it be your mask is foggy that everything is so drab?
so what would everyone recommend is the best family friendly one that has the least amount of people?
Madison,love it💯✔
All of the Suwannee area springs were blacked out when we were there in April.
+James Smith, The Quiet Hiker oh man. That's a bummer. The river fluctuates massively and this happens a lot unfortunately. We lucked out in November with the river levels.
Yeah, we've tried twice and have met the flooding Suwannee both times, all of the springs gone dark.
Rock Springs at Kelly Park
+humblelongboards While not a Florida State Park, we agree that Rock Springs at Kelly Park is an amazing place. We love it!
The numan lives there,eats dogs in one bite,beware!
what about gators?…I live in south Florida and they are EVERYWHERE, even in small lakes and canals in residential areas
There are gators in the springs occasionally. The water is generally very clear so we always have a really good look around before entering the water.
Also, since many of these place can get crowded with swimmers, the gators will generally (not always) stay away.
If you see a gator in a Florida spring, it's likely very Young and lost, and leaving lol. The water in the springs (72°f. Year round) is much colder than surrounding rivers and lakes, Cold blooded tropical reptiles move very slowly at that temp. and can not live long enough to take up residence in a spring area.
Theyll leave you alone as long aa you dont antagonize them
Ryan QUIT getting on UA-cam spreading LIES!!! YOU are a damn LIAR dude! EFF OFF. They come after you irregardless. Cause a person to get gator bit with your BULL
Crystal springs
Are you talking about the Crystal Springs on the Hillsborough River in Zephyrhills? This is one I'd love to visit.
Yes that Crystal Springs! Beautiful!
We want to visit Florida in June to check out the springs. Is there a good one to see some manatees that time of year? Or do they only come to the springs in the winter?
Winter is really the best time to guarantee seeing manatees because they congregate in the springs and other warm water sources. During the summer they are more dispersed. Although Kings Bay in Crystal River there will be Manatee sightings in summer. You can go with a tour boat.
Bahia Honda State Park!!!!
+bdec1984 nice! Love Bahia Honda'
it's not that great. when I went there were pedophiles there
What, no Rainbow, Silver, or Wakulla?
+Craig Lee so many to choose from! We wanted to narrow this list down to 5. It was tough for sure when there are so many good ones!
Yeah Craig- Rainbow is hard to beat, should have been on here.
madison blue state park
+Sirilo Chabaria it's so beautiful there!
My comment about weeki wachi being clear got removed
That's weird. I didn't remove it. Strange.
