INTO THE WILD · SWIMMING HOLES
Florida's spring system is unlike anything else in the country. First-magnitude springs pump millions of gallons per day at a constant 68–72°F year-round. Ichetucknee Springs State Park has a 3.5-mile tube and snorkel run through spring-fed crystal water — the most visited swimming spring in Florida, with timed entry tickets required in summer. Blue Spring State Park near Orange City is a manatee refuge with year-round snorkeling and the clearest freshwater in Florida. Ginnie Springs in Gilchrist County is a private park that allows camping and night swimming. Juniper Springs in Ocala National Forest is a USFS campground with a historic stone pool house and a natural run through the cypress. Morrison Springs in Walton County has cavern diving and open swimming in the Panhandle.
Always check current conditions before visiting — water levels, algae advisories, and access roads change seasonally. Never swim alone in remote sites. Tell someone your plans. Explore all swimming holes on the Trek4Free map →
