This is Blue Springs State Park in Orange City, Florida, about 45 minutes north of Orlando, The spring shoots out 200 million gallons of fresh water a day, that creates a fresh water river that is a constant 72 degrees. There's a narrow passage that starts at about 12 or 15 feet deep then you swim another 6 to 8 feet through a rock tunnel, this time of blackness is the time you spend in the tunnel. I wouldn't recommend this if you are claustrophobic. Then you swim out into the larger cave opening avoid the trees as you are coming up and you have done an awesome free dive through a cave. Blue Spring State Park covers more than 2,600 acres, including the largest spring on the St. Johns River. Blue Spring is a designated Manatee Refuge and the winter home to a growing population of West Indian Manatees. The spring and spring run are closed during Manatee season, mid-November through March. Swimming or diving with manatees is not permitted; this rule is strictly enforced. For centuries, the spring area was home to Native Americans. In 1766 it was visited by Colonial American botanist John Bartram, but it was not until 1856 that it was settled by Louis Thursby and his family. The Thursby house, built in 1872, remains standing. The springยดs crystal clear, 73 degree water can be enjoyed by swimmers, snorkelers, and certified scuba divers with a partner. The river is popular for fishing, canoeing, and boating. River boat tours are available; for reservations, call St. Johns River Cruises at (386) 917-0724. The park has plenty of picnic areas and a hiking trail. For overnight stays, air-conditioned cabins,and a full-facility campground are available. This is a very popular park on weekends. To ensure entrance into the park, we recommend arriving early; otherwise, the parking area will be full and you may not be able to enter. Hello, I am TheTimTracker.
