Hiking
A blue blazed trail leads you to Alexander Springs Recreation Area, which is the best swimming area of all the springs in the Ocala National Forest. There is limited food concession and it is not open weekdays in fall or winter. You may get microwave burgers, cold drinks and snacks. Hot showers and restrooms are available in the campground and at the recreation area.
You have to pay an entrance fee of 5.50 Dollars, tent sites are 21 Dollars per night. Since there are just a few sites, reserve in advance.

The spring pot has the clearest water I've ever seen and invites you to swim.
