Ichetucknee Springs: Experience One of Florida's Natural Paradises

[@ChrissaTravels]

Hi Everyone! One of my favorite things to do in Florida is to kayak the beautiful springs...there are SO MANY incredible natural springs in Florida. Which ones are your favorites?

Riverbend in palm beach county.

So Cute! Loved your capture! I also giggled - your monkey comment - still smiling! Thank you for making this video! My sons have gone camping here twice - I cannot wait to visit this location!!!

Looks like a great place to spend the day! The Blue Hole makes me anxious even thinking about it. Under water gives me anxiety

[@ChrissaTravels]

It was incredible! I get anxious at the thought of cave diving, too! I’m too scared I’d get stuck or lost and can’t find my way out. Open water diving is amazing though!

[@marymushinsky6291]

Blue Hole is beautiful and restful. Stay on the surface if you are nervous (you can use a snorkling vest to help you float) and use a mask and snorkel to look underwater. It is one of the most lovely places I've ever seen!

I’ve been to the headwaters springs twice I have but never kayaked the whole river. This video is inspiring.

Fantastic video Chrissa! Looks really cool! Beautiful place! Hope you are having a great weekend! Keep up the great work! 😀❤️

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much, Tomtil! ☺️💛 I hope you have a wonderful weekend too! Thank you so much for watching!

Excellent video 📹!

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much! ☺️🫶🏽

[@normamejias6587]

Beautiful!

[@ChrissaTravels]

Isn’t it just stunning? Definitely worth the trip up there!

[@lashaysmith7783]

I always enjoy watching your visits to the springs; it's so beautiful and seems so calming! Of course you know I'm scary when it comes to sharing spaces with nature lol but I'm going to work up the courage one day!!! I really want to float in a natural lazy river!!!

[@ChrissaTravels]

I hope you do go to one of the springs one day! I definitely think you would enjoy Kelly Park in Apopka! That would be a great starter spring for you. Either that, or Wekiva Springs in Altamonte Springs.

[@I_like_pears]

That looks so fun! I want to take my son there.

[@ChrissaTravels]

It is such a fun experience! I hope you do! You’ll have a blast! ☺️

If you take your own kayak and go down the river how do you get your kayak back 2 or 3 miles back to your car? Seems like it would be hard to go back in the water against the current.

[@ChrissaTravels]

Hey there! If you take your own kayak, they will drive you and your kayak to the top of the river. Then, you’ll float down and you’ll get out at an spot near the south parking lot where a trolly will take you to where your car is.

Thinking about going down the end of April is it a good time of year to hit the springs?

[@ChrissaTravels]

I would say so! It’s after spring break and before Memorial Day, so there shouldn’t be as many people…except for maybe the weekends. It’ll definitely be warm enough where the water will feel refreshing!

[@nadejecamy9999]

Always wanted to go there but scared of alligators. Have you seen any?

[@ChrissaTravels]

Hi there! We didn’t see any at all on our entire float down the river. But even if they are there, as long as you don’t bother them, and keep your distance, you’ll be fine.

[@kimberlybegonia2869]

Why advertise for the Park? You really shouldn’t let out this secret you know 😮

[@beanbrew]

I think I heard monkeys at the midpoint 😄

[@ChrissaTravels]

😂😂😂

[@michellependergrass2584]

I think it's monkeys.... it could be an owl 😅

[@ChrissaTravels]

😂😂 It sounded like a monkey for a second there!! 😂😆
