Breathtaking Florida Springs That Are Near Each Other & Perfect for Spring Hopping

Since visiting the springs often requires a day trip, many visitors look for Florida springs that are near each other so that they can spring hop.  Spring hopping simply means visiting more than one spring in a day.  By knowing which Florida springs are near each other, you can easily fit more than one spring in during your trip!

It is important to know that there are many more springs than those listed below.  As we visit more Florida springs, we’ll add them to our list.  Also, some springs are only accessible via kayak or paddleboard, so we’re leaving those off of this list as well- since they are more difficult to find and access.

Making the Most of the Florida Springs That Are Near Each Other

Many of these regions are not far from one another, so you you could easily pair a spring in the Ocala National Forest with a spring  in Volusia County or Orlando.  These regions are only about an hour apart.  You could easily visit 5 or more springs in one weekend!

When is the Best time to Visit?

The springs are phenomenal year round! If you want a glimpse of the manatees, come during the winter (January and February seem to be peak times). If you want to kayak, canoe, or paddle board you can do so year round, but you’ll find it less crowded in the cooler months.

If you’re brave, you can swim year round. The water temperature is the same all year. Florida’s weather is really inconsistent in the winter. We can go from being in the 80s one day to the 50s the next. As long as you can handle the outside temperatures when you exit the springs, you can absolutely swim in the springs 365 days a year.
