Awesome job with the video! Florida is home to 735 springs to put on your bucket list. I have personally visited over 100 and it just makes one want to find more to enjoy. FYI Google maps has most locations.

Windows to the aquifer!

Awesome video buddy. Can't wait to get out there!

@exampleexample487 6 лет назад

I agree that Madison Blue Springs is a great one! I live in Madison, so we often go there regularly. :)

@curtiswhitwam1 6 лет назад

Love it! It's a great stop off for a swim when we are traveling through the area. I'd love to do a long paddle on the Withlacoochee sometime.

Ichetucknee! and this is making me realize I need to go back. Curtis, if you guys aren't getting paid for these, you should! Just beautiful.

@curtiswhitwam1 8 лет назад

+Adria Waldbart thank you Adria! The Iche is one of my all time favorites. Miss you!

How busy is the Ichetucknee after the colleges go back to school. I used to go there a lot as a kid. Noticed now that they only allow 700 people onto the river. I suspect this is through the summer. Could not find anything about this after summers. I want to go mid week to get the best possibility of quite time on the river and not 700 others on the river.

@curtiswhitwam1 6 лет назад

It's pretty chill in the off season. The kids are back in school (or will be soon depending on county/school). Now is the time!

@nancyhill53 6 лет назад

That is my thinking too. Going to try to kayak it later this month of Sept for sure. Been a very long time since I have done that river. Tks

@alex305mp4 5 лет назад

I was just there this Friday during the off-season. Arrived around noon, and we were the only ones. Then again, we got poured on by rain about 35 minutes down stream.

@denniss7805 5 лет назад

I live in Old Town, Fl. Roughly 4 miles from Fanning, such a beautiful park

@curtiswhitwam1 5 лет назад

It sure is! We were just there last week.

@haydertahir8556 2 года назад

so what would everyone recommend is the best family friendly one that has the least amount of people?

@MrRobjs83 4 года назад

haven't been to any of those 5. Been to Ginnie Springs, Devils Den, Blue Grotto, Rainbow River, and 1 or 2 more small ones I forgot the names of

@curtiswhitwam1 4 года назад

Very cool. Hope you enjoy the rest of my videos. I have several of these featured on my channel.

@cesarequevedo8943 6 лет назад

The sad part is that everyone that goes to these places also puts on Sunscreen/Suntan lotion. These products have chemicals that affect the water in a negative way. You should mention that in your videos! People should NOT put on these things when getting into the water!!!

@ricpowers1475 6 лет назад

Cesar E Quevedo c'mon cesar....these springs are in very good shape, pristine, well managed and crystal clear. Whatever sunscreen u have on is negligible sense the springs are renewed at the rate of millions of gallons an hour.

@curtiswhitwam1 6 лет назад

It is true that most sunblocks have chemicals on them that is harmful to aquatic life. Good point.

@cesarequevedo8943 6 лет назад

Maybe I'm overzealous about this, but I like how in other countries they think of "everything"...unlike here. That's sad...considering this is supposed to be ad advanced nation. That's all!

@ricpowers1475 5 лет назад

The springs stay pristine because they are constantly changing with new flow daily..for example, Rainbow springs dumps over 100 million gallons a day into the gulf and receiving the same amount via the aquifer. All new, each and every day, every spring in florida.

@ricpowers1475 5 лет назад

@@macawlf Whew! What springs are you going to? Rainbow Springs has never been cleaner because of very strict rules on what can be brought in. I live in Dunnelon and have watched the springs become much better versus even 15 years ago. Still teeming with life and brilliant colors. Could it be your mask is foggy that everything is so drab?

@JamesRobertSmith 8 лет назад

All of the Suwannee area springs were blacked out when we were there in April.

@curtiswhitwam1 8 лет назад

+James Smith, The Quiet Hiker oh man. That's a bummer. The river fluctuates massively and this happens a lot unfortunately. We lucked out in November with the river levels.

@JamesRobertSmith 8 лет назад

Yeah, we've tried twice and have met the flooding Suwannee both times, all of the springs gone dark.

Crystal springs

@curtiswhitwam1 6 лет назад

Are you talking about the Crystal Springs on the Hillsborough River in Zephyrhills? This is one I'd love to visit.

@itr0863 6 лет назад

it's not that great. when I went there were pedophiles there

@seus2731 6 лет назад

what about gators?…I live in south Florida and they are EVERYWHERE, even in small lakes and canals in residential areas

@curtiswhitwam1 6 лет назад

There are gators in the springs occasionally. The water is generally very clear so we always have a really good look around before entering the water. Also, since many of these place can get crowded with swimmers, the gators will generally (not always) stay away.

@nickm4854 5 лет назад

If you see a gator in a Florida spring, it's likely very Young and lost, and leaving lol. The water in the springs (72°f. Year round) is much colder than surrounding rivers and lakes, Cold blooded tropical reptiles move very slowly at that temp. and can not live long enough to take up residence in a spring area.

@SlipknotPyro 5 лет назад

Theyll leave you alone as long aa you dont antagonize them

@ambriadanielsband4132 5 лет назад

Ryan QUIT getting on RU-vid spreading LIES!!! YOU are a damn LIAR dude! EFF OFF. They come after you irregardless. Cause a person to get gator bit with your BULL

@acesmom5210 5 лет назад

We want to visit Florida in June to check out the springs. Is there a good one to see some manatees that time of year? Or do they only come to the springs in the winter?

@curtiswhitwam1 5 лет назад

Winter is really the best time to guarantee seeing manatees because they congregate in the springs and other warm water sources. During the summer they are more dispersed. Although Kings Bay in Crystal River there will be Manatee sightings in summer. You can go with a tour boat.
