Yes, 2 of the springs we list in Florida have no entry fee, including Cypress Spring and Royal Springs Park. Free springs are usually undeveloped, so expect no changing rooms or lifeguards, and check parking rules.

Of the springs with published temperatures, Weeki Wachee Springs State Park runs hottest, at up to 72-74°F (22-23°C). Water that hot needs short soaks; test it with a hand before you get in.
