Best state park for tubing ?

[Guest]

I have had a trawl through the State park website and am getting a bit overpowered with all the options - so am heading to the trusty dibb for answers.

Want to go tubing please - clear water (ie not muddy) only please.

Ideally want to park then bus it up and tube down.
Which spot is the best ?

Early August.

Also swimming / snorkelling generally. I like De Leon Springs,but the swimming area is quite restricted so was looking for something a bit more wild...

dont mind a journey.

Sorry never been but was intrigued about tubing so googled it and Kelly park in Apopka came up, it looks lovely, given us a new idea for our next visit.

Thank you for responding - hate going unanswered

Kelly park looks pretty good according to tripadvisor..

Cheap and local to Orlando. Plus clear water May well go here and test the water with a picnic etc.

I think that there are some others where you can tube with Manatees etc, but having trouble identifying them - will post back if I find them.

Having said not overly fussed on De Leon springs swimming area - the pancake house does have a certain pull

August is the wrong season for manatees by the way... need it to be Nov/Dec I believe

I think the best tubbing can be done...
1) Ichetucknee Springs State Park
2) Tubing @ The Rainbow River
3) Kelly Park

I can advise Snorkel the Rainbow River, we did a Manataa swim in the morning and Snorkel after 13:00u @ the Rainbow River..

We went to Blue Springs last Aug the Springs were freezing but lots of people tubing and we saw manatee a mum and baby swimming in the Spring. Kayaks were fab there as well.

Thank you so much for this... really helpful.

I had looked at several of your trippies / blogs after you posted some amazing wildlife pics a few weeks ago; but hadn't spotted these ones.

You are a fantastic photographer Professional ?
