Fanning Springs is also a must
It’s a hard job to decide on just 10! But for my fav it is Salt Springs! Also in Ocala National Forest. The minerals in the water set this as one of the fountain of youths. Many people came here through the years just to drink the water.
No gators in these springs?
Omg…"spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggsssssss" every time 😂. Not to rain on anyone's parade but since Florida is pretty much the bug capitol of the US, perhaps mention beforehand that there are tons of ticks and mosquitoes at all of these and it is hot as can be until about December so some good sunscreen and repellent are a must. We hunt and kayak use permetherin spray on our clothes. JT Eaton and Sawyer are great choices. Also Avon SSS bug guard is good for mosquito and sunscreen combo. Have fun y'all!
nice list. Alligators like springs too, watch this:

Manatee Springs is awesome, you missed it.
I'm 62 years old and went to Florida like 20 times, and never knew these springs existed until last year. Always went to Orlando, South Florida coast, Key west. Never saw one spring.
Great video thanks!
Swim with manatees!

Any Springs near south Florida where tent camping is allowed?

Those are beautiful! The Panhandle also has beautiful springs.
DeFuniak Springs
Ponce de Leon
Great information
Any alligators???? I thought Florida is filled with them
I have a natural spring on my property in Hudson Florida that goes down 250ft deep and opens to the size of Raymond James stadium and it connects to Weeki Wachee i go swimming in it very often in the summer always a perfect 76 degrees all year round.
Can’t believe Wakulla Springs did not make this list.
No criteria for selecting springs.
Great list; thank you! You had a few on your top 10 that others I follow had not mentioned. Ichetucknee has been ranked by many as better than Ginnie since Ginnie is a party place. I think Ginnie actually has 6-7 springs along the float. I see many are commenting about Silver Springs. I love that one too– I have been twice and did the glass bottom boat tours first and then the kayak rental. Was just there two weeks ago and kayaked alongside manatees and gators with a respectful distance. Cannot get out and swim in this one though; not permitted and definitely not recommended with all the gators!
I went to a few springs last year, I liked Poe. Surprised it isn't on here. I'm going back this year to check out silver springs and ichituknee
I didn't read too far, but I did see one mention of Salt Springs. I haven't been in 50yrs to any public spring but I did swim and scuba in Salt Springs as a kid and thought it was great.
We went from spring to spring. When you pay by the car load this is what you get and it was especially noticalbe how cullurally influenced it was noise wise..
im going to a spring tomorrow and it might be Devils den
Thanks for this! Such a cool and informative video. This made me visit Florida. I’ve never been but will go this summer 😎
Ty for showing on a Florida map
Are gators in these swimming holes?
kill the music
Breaks my heart that they took out the diving/jumping platform at Gilchrist Blue Spring. I visited a few years back, and the diving platform was already gone. I don't know if it was before or after it became a state park, but it was a bummer. I went there specifically because of the platform. I know why things like this aren't more common, but I sure like the idea.
Wakulla is one of my ultimate favorite Springs with Edwards Ball Lodge, a third magnitude Spring complete with a high dive. i can't wait to check out a few on this list. Happy to say I've been to a few on the top 10 and Ginnie Springs use to be my favorite. i have floated down the st.johns river a few times. Lithia Springs was a local spring I would go to so I could cool off during the summer months I would go during the week when it was empty. One of my favorite things was swimming in place at the head of the spring. Ichetucknee Springs is pretty incredible too. Your guaranteed to see a Manatee. We must preserve these beautiful sea cows and by doing so were creating a cohesive environment.
No gators in these swimming holes?
Ginnie Spring is beautiful, but it's privately owned and well know as a party place where most anything goes. I would never stay there or go there for a day visit except during off season during the week. Not a good place for kids due to the irresponsible of the young adults and adults there. I also don't like that Nestle takes water from the spring.😢
I love florida's beaches!
Please add a clip of beautiful waterhole and great canoeing at Juniper Springs in Ocala and also Silver Springs.
We used to live near Weeki Wachee and took our children there when they were small.
I saw some gator in other vidios . can be find in all the springs ? how safe is swing among them ? thanks
There are more than 3 springs in Ginnie Springs
The Rainbow River (flowing out of #2 Rainbow Springs) is a great place to kayak if you want to see Florida wildlife in an alligator-free river. An early morning trip at sunrise offers the opportunity to see and paddle along with a family of otters – I don't know of any other place in Florida with otters. You'll also see a wide assortment of birds, from ducks and egrets to osprey. As the day warms, every log sticking out of the water is almost guaranteed to have turtles relaxing in the sunshine. Amazing place.
Man, we went to the Yucatan peninsula and swam in the cenotes there only to later find out that people dump their waste and unprocessed sewage directly into the underground waterways. I wish I had known about the Florida springs, we could have just stayed here in the U.S. and visited these instead!
Is that a mineral springs or fresh water?
These state parks spray poison regularly all over the campgrounds in you think you're walking and pristine nature but you're picking up poison on your feet in your shoes and carrying it back to sleep with and swimming because it affects the springs
