If you like the local FL springs, this place is a must. They have a wonderful tubing run. You rent your tubes outside the park and bring them with you. Snack bar and bathrooms are available in the park. More

This place is pure Florida. A cold spring runs through here and the vegetation is beautiful. There are hiking trails. This is a natural park so there are also all kinds of animals, and birds. Don't forget water and bug spray if your out on the trails. More

This park is a gem. Crystal clear water. Since the water comes from the springs, it is a constant 68 degrees. A bit chilly if there's a wind blowing, but perfect when it gets hot and humid in Floirida. There's a small beach area to relax. Natural Florida habitat. We saw wild turkeys, a deer, hawks, fish, and turtles. You... More

Better than Disney! We had a fantastic day here at the park: we rented inner tubes from just outside the park, arrived at the top of the 'lazy river' about 9.30am on a week day (albeit one during UK Easter holidays when every theme park in Orlando is packed with tourists) and we were the first people in the water,...

I have been going since I was a kid, and now I have the pleasure of taking my own family. This is basically a large park with plenty of picnic areas, camping sites, grills, pavilions, and playgrounds to keep you busy. However, the main feature is the long stream of water steadily flowing from underground cascading through rocky ledges then... More

A great day out only half an hours drive from Orlando. Tube rental at $3 from outside the park. Only $3 entry for a car with 2 passengers. Take along a packed lunch and a cool box full of drinks and relax in some wonderful surroundings. The natural lazy river is fabulous and if you are lucky you will spot... More

This is one of the natural gems in the state of Florida. Be aware that it is an Orange County park - state park passes don't work here. Admission is very reasonable. There is a snack bar and restroom facilities. Lots of picnic tables and two playgrounds. Camping is available. There is a large swimming area with short river runs... More

I took my family to spend the weekend camping and tubing down the river. The camping area is spotless and well maintained. The showers were clean and there was plenty of hot water. I was able to set up my cooking gear on the large picnic table and light a nice fire for smores in the firepit. Even though the... More
