Most people who visit Rock Springs do so for the amazing tubing. This is our favorite activity.

Tubes are available for rent outside the park, but they aren’t available from inside Kelly Park. The conces...

Rock Springs is located inside the city of Apopka, but it doesn’t feel like the city at all. It’s surrounded by environmentally protected land, and feels like a true natural adventure. For being inside a city, there’s a surprising amount of Florida wildlife. One reason wildlife is so abundant around Rock Springs is because of the huge amount of pro...
The water in Kelly Park Rock Springs is 68 degrees all the time. That makes it a year-round destination. In the summer the water is refreshingly cold on a hot, sweaty summer day. On a warm winter day it’s still fine for swimming or floating.

Excellent Canoeing and kayaking is available further downstream at King’s Landing, but is not allowed within Kelly Park. Canoe and kayak launching is usually available at Camp Joy. It was closed for quite a long time, but it now appears to be open, at least partially. More information can be found at the Camp Joy webpage.
Kelly Park/Rock Springs has strict visitor limits to preserve the environment and prevent overcrowding. It’s best to try to go on weekdays. If you must go on a weekend try to arrive as early as possible to have a better chance of getting in!

There are also other options for camping nearby. One of my favorite places to camp is Wekiwa Springs State Park, which also has its own springs and paddling. A nearby campground, Camp Joy, is available for group camping by reservation only.
Kelly Park is a beautiful place to explore for a day, and located inside of the park is the real gem: Rock Springs. This is such a great experience, the crystal clear water is 68 degrees which can seem really cold but its refreshing. Most of the spring is 1 - 4 feet deep so it's not as cold feeling because the sun does take the edge off.
