2.Kelly Park and Rock Springs Run State Reserve
Kelly Park is located less than half an hour out of Orlando in Central Florida. This historic Orange County nature reserve in Apopka includes 325 acres of verdant lagoons, wildlife, and lazy rivers perfect for tubing. It’s the perfect place for the entire family to go tubing.
It’s a little short, just three-quarters of a mile long, but there are several boardwalks along the way, so you can take a break and explore a bit before re-launching. Additionally, you can enjoy the rock springs, and go canoeing or kayaking down the eight-mile Rock Springs Run. It’s a great route for those interested in the local sub-tropical flora and fauna. In the summer, this place is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
3.Blue Spring State Park
You’ll find Blue Spring State Park north of Orlando in Orange City. It’s home to 2,600 acres of outdoor adventure including a manatee refuge, and the biggest natural spring on the entire St. John’s River. The tube run here is short but the water is reportedly crystal clear.
Blue Springs Adventures will not only rent you tubes but also offer canoe and kayak rentals. The park itself offers guided boat tours. If you want more, this state park is also a popular place for birdwatching, diving, fishing, swimming, hiking, and simply exploring the tropical greenery. You can even stay and camp in tents or cabins. No matter when you visit though, be sure to get there early as it frequently reaches official maximum capacity surprisingly early in the day.
