Kelly Park features a free-flowing natural spring (Rock Spring - 68 degrees Fahrenheit year round) issuing from a vertical rock bluff. Rock Springs Run, a clear, swift creek, is popular with tubers.
The Wekiva – Rock Springs Run Canoe Trail connects this park with Wekiva Springs State Park via Rock Springs Run, which flows approximately 10 miles from Kelly Park to the Wekiva River just below Wekiwa Springs

We rented tubes at this joint just down the street from the park
There is a boardwalk that takes you down to the start of the run
This is the hole in the wall where the spring water flows from at the start
This is the put in spot at the start. People swimming there but we saw nobody else for the rest of the run

It's about a five minute walk back with your tube, either back to the car or to the start again for another run

This is one of the swimming spots in the springs, and also the halfway pull out point if you want to tube back to the car
