Rock Springs Run Kelly Park near Orlando is a hidden gem in Florida. There is a crystal clear freshwater spring that flows out of a cave and forms a beautiful creek run through the woods. You can tube down the run or just swim or snorkel down it. I brought my mask and Gopro along to explore Rock Springs Run at Kelly park. I found turtles and several species of fish. I loved just floating down the run and enjoying nature above and below the water. It was an incredibly peaceful experience.
I call Rock Springs a hidden gem because it is not well known among most Floridians I speak with. It is a county park and it is located about a half hour drive from Orlando.

Fun fact guy was tubing down that run and an alligator bit him.on top of his head lots of snakes too look out!!
how do you hold your breath so long?
2:14 what is that fish looking at
I just love your channel! You do such a fantastic job with the filmography. Absolutely stunning. Very impressive and inviting. Well done!
Back in the Stone age is we used to swim into the boil and went out the side we used to bring a keg of beer when you go inside your several caves inside unfortunately some people went in too far and they couldn't come out and that's what you do when you're young
You didn’t show the cave!
Hidden gem my foot, you've obviously not driven by early on Sunday.
👍🐟🎣💯

New to your channel bro and I am absolutely loving it. If you ever come down under to Australia we have some of the most beautiful Springs and reefs to dive
Really good video sir.
That’s not secluded though, it’s actually very popular and well known
here
absolutely loved this video! beautifully made! thanks for sharing such a beautiful place
Awesome video. Living 30 minutes away from the Springs, our crew loves heading out there and occasionally filming. You showed a few things not many would see about the park, even us locals. Again, great vid, thanks for sharing…
Great video! Keep it up!
Awesome, so beautiful. Cool little hidden spring trail. Places like this has always fascinated me.
What dive watch are you using/wearing in this video?
i can swim underwater pretty good but im not a strong swimmer swimmer. Can i still do this ?
Loved that place!! Been there a ton of times in the 6 yrs I lived there! My dad has lived there for 20yrs and I was always there!
As you start down the spring run trail, whats on the right hand side when you get to that first little pool before it narrows?
I cant imagine living close to a beautiful spring like this. I would be there all the time. Thats just me.
you did an awesome job Joe show us this gem, thank you so much. !!
How cold is the water? Is it below 70F ? Thank you.
thoughts on snorkeling in Jan without wetsuit?
Thanks so much! We’re heading to Orlando from Richmond Virginia for my 30th. Going to some springs on one of the days 🙏
Wow man I can’t wait to move to Orlando I’m so excited and great video man.
Awesome Video
I grew up going there many times a year. I've been to all of those spots. Many have been closed off. Those off shoot springs in the woods are fun but the mosquitos and banana spiders can be overwhelming! Great place to snorkel when there are not too many kids around.
I have been going there my whole life since the late 80s. I have a couple other favorite spots but this is one of the most beautiful.
Hoping to see an alligator as you're in the water?!
I like the snot rocket
Awesome , Thanks Joe
Great video. We are going Monday. We have a hero9 never used underwater before can I ask what settings you have?
This is not hidden. at all
crazy how oddly similar this looks to some forests of the pacific northwest, even though they’re on completely opposite sides of the country
It’s beautiful there. That water is not cool it’s damn cold.
Love your vids. Ever seen any gators in the rock spring run?
SECLUDED!!! 😂😂😂😂 got there an hour after opening time and it was already full. Maybe during winter ❄️😂
are we allowed to collect rocks
this is my favorite springs to go to in Florida its like 1 hour away from me though
just went today.
