Alexander Springs is a first-magnitude spring within the Ocala National Forest in Lake County, Florida, producing approximately 76 million litres of clear water at 21°C every day from a large limestone vent in the Floridan Aquifer. The wide spring pool is popular for swimming, snorkeling, and canoeing down the spring run. Manatees visit the spring during cooler months to benefit from the constant warm temperature relative to the surrounding lake and river waters. The US Forest Service manages the site with a campground and concession facilities.
