I like to kayak down the springs. To keep my budget low, I usually camp out at the State Park.
Itchetucknee Springs
My favorite so far. Super clear water, a ton of turtles and birds.
Rainbow Springs
My second favorite Springs to kayak down. Water was very clear, could always see the bottom of the river, but the bottom had a lot of weeds.
Pros:
- Clear water
- Wide river
- Lots of wildlife – including otters!!!
Cons:
- Motor boats allowed
- Houses build along one side
- Lots of weeds
- Not always clear which way to go
Weeki Watchee
Clear water, motor boats, not very wide in places, easy to follow. Would go back since it is the closest one to home.
Silver Springs
Water was not very clear. Hard to get to, off the beaten path. Would not go back.
