3 Days of Snorkeling, Canoeing, & Hiking at Alexander Springs Florida

We spent three days in Ocala National Forrest at Alexander Springs where our first day we canoed down the river run and saw a ton of wildlife including alligators, different species of fish and birds, and of course a bunch of turtles. Then we took a swim in the crystal clear water after the paddle to cool off. There were no manatees unfortunately it was too late in the year for them to be around. The next day we went on a long hike through the Florida trail which is a 67.2-mile to 115-mile unbroken wilderness backpacking route through the world's largest sand pine scrub forest, where you can see Florida black bears, snakes, birds, and alligators. We only did 10 miles but saw some incredible views. The final day we snorkeled the swim area and appreciated such an amazing place that our earth has to offer! Definitely check out this natural spring here in Florida! #snorkeling #hiking #florida #nature
