Living in Florida has many advantages, and an essential one is access to our beautiful, freshwater springs. But not all springs are created equal, and not all springs allow swimming. So here are a few great options within driving distance of Tampa Bay.
Be sure to check the park’s website, or call ahead before you plan a day at the spring as many have updated rules and regulations.
