Review & FAQ:

The first magnitude spring at the Alexander Springs Recreation Area is thought to be one of the most accessible and easiest of the Florida springs for visitors to get to and explore, for both young and old alike. A slow, gradient slope offers easy access into the crystalline cool water for divers and swimmers. The limestone smooth floor of the Alexander Springs releases little bubbles around snorkelers exploring the clear blue waters. The shallow pool makes the springs a popular destination for families, as well as the adjacent Timucuan Trail providing a short hike through semi-tropical vegetation.
