There is something so refreshingly wonderful about swimming holes, no matter the time of year. But, in most states across the country, you’ll find fun-seekers looking for the best ways to cool down this way during the summer. Luckily for Floridians, here they can be enjoyed any time of year. We’re certainly no strangers to these fun bodies of water. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite Florida swimming holes in the past. But of course, with so many to enjoy it’s only fitting that we provide a second installment. Remember that swimming holes typically do not have a lifeguard on duty, so they’re a bit more risky to visit than a regular beach. Be sure to take extra precautions when visiting. Otherwise, have fun and soak up the sun! Here are some of the best swimming lakes in Florida:
1. Rock Springs, Apopka
2. Peacock Springs, Live Oak
3. Ginnie Springs, High Springs
