Ginnie Springs
One of the most fun things to do at a freshwater spring is floating down one on a tube! And if you want a long tube ride, Ginnie Springs is your best bet. The most common tube run takes approximately 45 minutes to float down!
Because of the shape, it’s not a long walk back to where you began, and it’s also one of the warmer springs on our list. The only downside of this freshwater spring in Florida is that it’s part spring, part the Santa Fe River. This means the water isn’t as pristine.
But it’s also partly why it’s not as cold. It can also have more of a party atmosphere because many college students flock here on the weekends. However, another winning aspect of Ginnie Springs is that you can scuba dive while here.
The clear water section of Ginnie Springs provides the opportunity to get a peek at the sea life and unique geographic formations. The water is also easily accessible for cave and non-cave divers. But we recommend exploring the large cave known as Ginnie’s ballroom!
