Florida's Hidden Treasure: Springs
I love bragging about my home state of Florida, I was born here, grew up here, and now have my business here. It's safe to say i'm a big fan of Florida, but it's the laid back vibe, warm weather, and outdoor activities that make me stay.
Most people from out of state think of beaches, Disney World and Miami as the the top must sees when they visit Florida. I agree all three are totally worth visiting but there is so much more to do and see. I’m going to let you in on another great place to visit the next time you are in the sunshine state.
Florida is home to over 700 freshwater springs. That is more than any other place on earth! The water is so clear and cool that even on the hottest summer day you can cool off and beat the heat. The springs are great for swimming, paddling, floating, kayaking and snorkeling. It is not uncommon to see manatee and lots of fish.
Here are the top ten springs in Florida from Trips to Discover
!. Three Sisters Springs. Crystal River
2. Weeki Watchi Springs State Park, Spring Hill

4. Rock Springs, Apopka
5. Ichetucknee Springs State Park, Fort White
