Take a dip and explore the wonders of the seven springs. Swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear 72 degree water is fun year round. Masks, fins, and snorkels can be rented at the Ginnie Springs Store. When the Santa Fe River clears snorkeling in the river may reward you with glimpses of large gar, bass, mullet, catfish, turtles and many other critters.
What could be more fun than tubing lazily down the Santa Fe River? Most guests enter the water at the Beaver’s Landing river access point with a tube or raft, and spend an hour or so floating down the river to the Tube Exit at Twin Spring. When you exit at Twin Spring, follow the Tube Trail and back to the Ginnie Spring parking lot, it’s about a fifteen-minute walk. Tube rentals are available at the Ginnie Springs General Store. There is a free air fill station for tubes and rafts if you choose to bring your own. They also offer life jackets to guests free of charge.
Take a canoe, kayak or stand up paddleboard out on the Santa Fe River. There is no better way to get in touch with nature. You can bring your own canoe, kayak or stand up paddleboard. No worries if you don’t have one, they have you covered with a rental.
