Pros: Clear, spring fed water. Cons: Unfortunately, the journey has to end at some point.
The Ichetucknee Springs State Park is a great place, as it is a river fed by seven powerful springs and the water is very cold.
I went for the third time on July 9th of 2006, and the experience never gets old. The people you meet on the river are always very nice and the water feels good when the temperatures are above 90 degrees.
Alligators are native to Florida Waters, however, they are rarely if ever seen in the Ichetucknee near the tubers as they are cold blooded and do not like cold water. The gators are more down near the Santa Fe River. On our July 16th trip, we saw several otters near the shore along with many turtles.
The head springs are simply spectacular. Ichetucknee Spring is in a very beautiful setting.
