Ginnie Springs

Ginnie Springs

            Next on the Florida Springs series is Ginnie Springs. Located on the Santa Fe River in High Springs, Florida, it has one of the clearest spring waters in Florida. This place should definitely be on everyone’s bucket list for destinations whether you’re with your family, or getting away with your friends, you will definitely cut you off from your phone and all modern technologies.

            It certainly is a hike to get from the entrance to the beginning of the river, however it is the most relaxing tube ride I have personally ever experienced. Be careful to not float past the main attractions, for these 5 hidden springs are easy to miss. But once you find them, be sure to spend a long time underwater. Scuba diving and snorkeling are available and it’s the best way to see these springs the deep trenches and crystal clear water.

            But, to truly experience this amazing park, camping is the way to go. The park is open 24 hours to campers and with that, sunrise swims are not off limits. Though a freezing 72 degree water would be a shock to half asleep bodies, would not be ideal, but it’ll make for an amazing story to tell and a truly once in a lifetime experience.

            Next time you’re out by High Springs Florida, make sure to head on over and experience off grid camping and the relaxing underwater paradises that Ginnie Springs has.
