Ichetucknee Springs State Park, Fort White

Loved kayaking from the boat launch at Blue Hole to Midpoint Landing. So many turtles basking on logs, not hopping off because you pass by. The current took my wife and I at a leisurely pace, allowing us to take pictures of the big fish, birds and turtles. Great part was no mosquitoes today on our anniversary. The staff was pleasant, and informative. Once we reached Midpoint, the river got a little crowded with people in inner tubes. Regardless, the springs, scenery and animals were breathtaking. Overall, we will be back with our kids.

The tubing was great. Enough wildlife to enjoy but not too much so that you're not freaking out if you're not used to it. The waters felt amazing on hot summer day. Nice and cool. The staff were nice, just make sure you leave your car at the South entrance if you're going tubing. Also, bring a non-disposable bottle of you want to take a drink with you down the spring and $1 per float to inflate with their pump
