Sharing a handy and cheap item that we use often when we are near water and a sweet natural spring that visited when we were near Orlando.

We bought these tubes at Walmart a few years ago for $5 a piece! They are pretty thick and durable and we’ve taken them all over the country to rivers, white water parks, springs, lakes, oceans, and any other type of water situation you can think of.
.
These specific ones are Ozark Trail 45” River Tubes from Walmart and I think they may be $7 now.
.
The sweet spot we are tubing in is Kelly Rock Springs tubing park. It cost us $5 for a day pass for the whole day. They have tons of space to picnic and swim and I think even hiking trails.
.
The spring has crystal clear water and flows at a rate of 26,000 gallons a minute which makes a nice lazy river effect!
.
They don’t rent tubes inside the park, so if you don’t bring your own like we did, you have to rent them from a shop right before entering the park.
.
We loved getting to float lazily down the spring and even had an entire family of river otters pop their heads up and swim in between us and along side us for a bit!
.
If you are in the Orlando area, this is a must do!
