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.

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.

Love the Manatee Festival at Blue Spring. Alexander is amazing. Love the Ocala National Forest. Kelly Park does not allow dogs. That’s why we went to Magnolia- no spring. Rock is another great one. Glad to add some to my list. Manatee spring you can scuba. Salt Springs is a huge swim area. DeLeon Springs with its make your own pancakes at Sugar Mill Restaurant is awesome. Great job. Alice

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)...

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!

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!

You may not have been to Wassisa springs because I would have put it with Ichetucknee at the top three along with Fanning Springs but saw why you put Ginnie and Gilchrist in there also great springs with plenty of activities , Blue Springs is indeed with Manattee springs a two. for manatee spotting best destinaations, also might add Rainbow and Silver springs are second or third for kayaking to Ichetucknee springs.
