Anyone a Blue Springs fans? We just spent a couple days at the Highbanks Marina and went up and swam in the springs. 72 degree water, tons of fish including the occasional gator. Great place for the family. The first time we went on a vacation with out a motorized off highway vehicle of some kind.

Just camped there from 6/29 - 7/2

Went to the Pepsi 400 Sat. night :drive.gif Usualy stay @ Tomaka St. for the race. Stayed here for adifferent twist. Had a great time !! Only about 40 min. from the track. We will be staying here from now on

That water feels more like 52 than 72

It is located at 2100 W. French Ave. Orange City (386)775-3663. It is about 5-10 minutes west of I-4. THE WATER IS BONE CHILLING WHEN YOU FIRST JUMP IN.

did the same exact thing. rented the pontoon boat and went up river (north) and parked at the sandbar by the park and walked to the spring for a swim. makes for a good day

Yes, but i will probably have to keep him on a choke collar with a 6' leash.....................and he will have to be well behaved and not jump on people!!!
