Most tourists will come to Orlando and splash around in wave pools, or float down lukewarm lazy rivers at crowded water parks. But smart, savvy travelers seek out Central Florida’s secret natural attractions — its springs. Due to Florida’s geology and climate, the state is home to the most natural springs in the country. Unlike popular geothermal or “hot” springs, Florida’s springs stay mild at 68-70 degrees F, as the water sits close to the earth’s surface in Florida’s aquifer. With almost a year-round climate calling for bathing suits, Florida’s natural springs are popular for cooling off, enjoying the outdoors, and experiencing nature’s wonders.
