Silver Springs State Park

Take a peaceful trip to Silver Springs State Park. This park is home to one of the largest natural springs in the world, which creates a tranquil atmosphere for a day of swimming, boating, and exploring nature trails.

Admire the crystal clear spring water filled with manatees and other wildlife as you paddle your way through the area. This park also has monkeys that often you will see on the river banks or trees.

You are not allowed to take any type of food or plastic on the river. You will need a stainless or glass bottle for your water if you are kayaking. Or the other option is to enjoy a leisurely glass bottom boat ride.

Florida Caverns State Park in Marianna

Back towards the Florida Panhandle in the town of Marianna, you will find caves. Yes that is correct. Caves.

We ventured down into the caves following our guide. It was really amazing to see.

As we listened to the story behind the caves, it has you really thinking back to how people lived at that time.

Literally crawling through the caves with a rope attached. Nowhere to stand up. And if their oil lanterns blew out, they had no light. Zero.

Rapids Big Shoals State Park

Rapids? In Florida? That’s right there are.

Over in the little, historic town of White Springs, you will find Big Shoals State park and State Forest. They share some of the same land.

This is also where you will find the only rapids in Florida, and they are Class III rapids. For those adrenalin junkies, you can kayak over the shoals but for others, there is a path to portage around them.

Every time I visit, I see pieces and parts of kayaks and paddles that did not make it over the shoals. Please do not attempt if you have never paddled over rapids or are inexperienced. Others? Good luck!

Devil’s Den Prehistoric Spring

This has got to be one of the coolest things you will ever see. I was speechless when I first saw it.

Underground with an opening above, is 120 feet across and roughly 45 feet deep is one of the most gorgeous springs you will ever lay eyes on. Even better? You can choose to snorkel or dive in it.

Called the Prehistoric Spring for good reason as you will note when you visit. If one in your part chooses not to enjoy the clear, 72 degree water, they can look down on you from the opening above.

Devil’s Den is located in the small town of Williston and worth the trip to see it.

These are only a few of the most magical places in Florida. I will be adding more so be sure to bookmark this page.
