Just last week we wrote about the stunning crytsal clear swimming hole in Florida that is perfect for your next summer adventure. But this week, we’re going to focus on a lazy river that is fun for the whole family. Not only can you bring your own tubes and float down this crystal clear river, but the water throughout the entire trip is some of the bluest we’ve ever seen.
Kelly Park in Apopka, Florida is a place for people of all ages to congregate and enjoy a bit of what Mother Nature intended.

The park features a free-flowing natural spring called Rock Springs and a swift, crystal clear creek that visitors just love to tube down.

The water is some of the clearest and bluest that you’ll find in Florida, not to mention stays at a chilly-yet-refreshing 68 degrees all year round.

If you don’t have your own tube, then you can rent one nearby, we guarantee it will be worth it.

There are some areas of Rock Spring Run that you won’t believe are even real.

Some visitors have taken to the lazy river for the day and saw otters playing in the water and deer grazing on the trail nearby.

Tubing down Rock Springs is a peaceful, relaxing and serene way to enjoy a bit of the outdoors, but also take some time to yourself.

Pack a picnic and make an entire day out of it, because we guarantee once you’re there, you will not want to leave.
