Preview: Alexander Springs is clearly worth preserving, an oasis in the forest, one of the outstanding physical features of central Florida. Imagine thrashing through broken woods and coming upon this upwelling of clear-blue water rising out of the earth and instantaneously forming its own waterway. This is Alexander Springs. The U.S. Forest Service recognized this aquatic wonder and built a fine recreation area around the spring. It’s showing signs of age, but any man-made facility will fail to match the natural ones here. Native Timucuan Indians recognized the beauty of the springs. Their artifacts make it evident they called it home. Now you can make the springs your home for a night or two weeks.
