Alexander Springs

4.2(37 reviews)Florida, USA East

Alexander is a very calm spring of 80 meters wide. There are small caverns. The main one can be penetrated for about 10 ft (entrance at 23 feet). There is a lot of marine wildlife here and a chance you might even see an alligator! Alexander Spring is 17 miles NE of Deland in the Ocala National Forest. Travel W on SR 40 from Ocala. Turn right on CR 445A just before the town of Astor. Follow 445A past the sharp turn to the E. Watch signs to parking area.

Apopka Spring

No reviews yetUSA, Florida, Central Florida Springs - Ocala

The spring pool is roughly circular, between 100 and 200 ft in diameter in a semitropical swamp. When spring flow is high, the pool is clean and clear, but when flow is low, murky lake water may cloud the pool. Advanced level cave diving (bring your light!). In the SW section of lake Apopka (Gourd Neck arm). The spring is 3 miles NW of Oakland. Drive 3.7 mile W on S-438, turn right onto a sand road through an old orange grove and continue for 0.5 miles; the spring is 500 feet N of the end of the road. Apopka Spring is also known as Gordneck Sink, Gourd Neck.
