As a paddle boarder I'm a big fan of Florida's Springs. For paddlers I would like to add Silver Springs, 5 mile run with good oportunities for wildlife , Manatees and maybe Monkeys. Juniper Springs is a 7 mile run. Small swimming area that feeds a big creek that twists through a incredible setting. If you paddle board Juniper it has to be a hard board, no inflatables. Also use short fins or no fin. There are sticks/roots just under the surface in some areas. Thanks for the great video. You've added some to my "things to do" list.

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.

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.

Ginnie springs was the biggest two and a half hour drive, disappointment I've ever had, period. It was so packed this past weekend when we went I literally couldn't get out of the water quick enough because it was so packed, I felt like I was just floating in human piss & sweaty gross body gunk. They were sold out of paddle boards so I was forced to settle for tube rentals (even though we were told to wait a half HR for tubes & the paddle boards were actually available, we found out after the fact). When we finally got down the the actual Ginnie springs hole, it too was packed & pretty much unenjoyable aside from footage I got deeper in the spring & of the caves. All in all a 5 hr drive for a miserable 2 hr experience that cost us $65 10/10 would never recommend (their entry fee is also outrageous at $20/ person)...

I love the tube run at Rock Springs, one of the most underrated activities in Florida we think! Thanks for checking it out for us, also we did a whole video on the tube run at Rock Springs if you want to check it out and let us know what you think!!

We just kayaked at Silver Springs last weekend! I will check out Three Sisters Springs in 2021! Thanks for your feedback!!
@wwjdwithu3163 жыл бұрын
The best way to check this spring out is to kayak in and during the cooler months you have a better chance to swim with the manatees but it’s beautiful year round.
@CampTravelExplore3 жыл бұрын
Yes I have heard you sort of tie off your kayak and swim in to the area. Does that sound right?
@wwjdwithu3163 жыл бұрын
During the colder months when more manatees are at the spring yes , now during the warmer months you can kayak into the springs . The manatees don’t just stay in the springs though and their are several other areas around to explore and see small springs such as Hunter springs

Not as comprehensive as your top five springs in Florida with campgrounds, but still very helpful, and the photography is beautiful. I don't think any of us would mind if you made a video like this longer with more information included... I thank you for all you do for us, but would ask if you could please put the list of these springs in the description, and make it copyable so we can paste it to our lists easily. Thanks!
@CampTravelExplore3 жыл бұрын

CampTravelExplore Your videos are already better than most! I only recently discovered your channel, and subscribed. I appreciate your taking the time to share this information in such an organized way--plus it's so enjoyable to see the beauty in your videos and photographs. My suggestions are made just for selfish reasons, as I'm making a very detailed itinerary for when the pandemic is over.

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.

Our two personal Fav's on this list are Silver Glen and Rock Springs at Kelly Park, and we have individual videos on them if you want to check them out! Also, here is a tip from us, we go on Mondays and Tuesday a bunch and sometimes there is almost nobody there, the weekends are so crowded the springs don't feel the same, so try that if you get the chance!
