In Florida, we have many places to visit, and you can do a number of activities there. But if you missed the swimming in Florida, then you missed the main thing on your trip. So make a list of activities that you have to do in Florida and put swimming at the top of the list.
Now the question is, do we really need to swim in the pool? No, never. Florida has the famous crystal clear river that is the Sante Fe River, and there are many parks on this river. So below I listed the best 5 swimming parks in Florida.
Rum Island Springs
Rum Island Springs is only 7 miles from downtown High Springs and is a great place to explore the beauty of nature. I’ve ranked the Rum Island Springs Park at the top of the list because here you will enjoy the swimming free of cost. You do not need to pay an entrance fee for the park and just dive into the crystal clear water.
Another reason for its first ranking is, that the visitor mostly prefers other state parks so it’s a little bit populated and at the same time you will enjoy swimming in the Rum Island Springs with your family.
You can also enjoy boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and watching a variety of birds.
Juniper Springs
Juniper Springs is one of the East Coast’s oldest and most popular recreation areas, with sparkling water beneath palms and oaks in the Ocala National Forest.
Ichetucknee Springs State Park
Ichetucknee is a popular summer destination, and the head spring is a National Natural Landmark.
Every Floridian should tube the Ichetucknee at least once in their lives!
Troy Spring State Park
This park in Branford, FL, not only has a great swimming hole, but it also has the remains of a Civil War-era steamboat that was deliberately sunk by its owner to keep it out of enemy hands. Isn’t that cool?
Ginnie Springs
Ginnie Springs in High Springs, FL, is one of the state’s clearest and most beautiful springs. It’s ideal for swimming and tubing, as well as snorkeling and diving!
