Ichetucknee Springs State Park
Float a crystal-clear 72-degree spring run through shaded forest on inner tubes - the classic Florida tubing trip for families.
The Ichetucknee River runs six miles from a cluster of springs to the Santa Fe, and floating it is one of the great Florida family days. The water holds 72 degrees year-round and is clear enough to watch turtles and gar pass underneath you. Summer tube launches are capped and the north launch fills early, so arrive at opening. The shorter south launch float runs about 45 minutes and suits younger kids; the full north-launch float is around three hours and is better for ages 8 and up. Outside summer the tube concession closes but the park stays open for swimming and paddling.
