Canoe or kayak to Cypress Springs in the Florida Panhandle

Canoe or kayak to Cypress Springs in the Florida Panhandle
This family's experience:

Activities: We canoed along Holmes Creek to Cypress Springs in Washington County, Florida. It was just perfect! We took off against the current and toward the spring. It's a little bit of a journey but hang in there because it was worth it!

Highlights: The water is always a cool 68 degrees nearest the spring. It’s so beautiful that you’ll find it hard to resist getting in, especially if you have a snorkel on hand. The water is crystal clear and the most amazing shade of emerald and turquoise that you have ever seen ✨
