夏日避暑好去处 - Ichetucknee Springs

夏日避暑好去处 - Ichetucknee Springs 朋友，你试过温柔的漂流吗？你感受过轻柔的水波载着你随波逐流吗？让清澈的泉水托着你，欣欣然，悠悠然地飘向远方。无需你的吹灰之力。你只需放松地坐在那里，看着远方的蓝天，白云，绿树，清流。。。缓缓地向你走近，又渐渐地从你的后方走远。于是新的天地又不失时机地涌来，再悄悄地从你的视线中褪去。 除了清爽的水声和虫鸟的鸣唱，你能听到的就是你的呼吸，你的心跳。没有嘈杂的车水马龙，没有大城市的热闹的喧嚣。你全身都置于自然的怀抱。被风吹，被水涌，你的思绪可以随着清流飘向远方；你也可以什么都不思，什么都不想，任由水流载着你在河中飘荡，行向远乡。 你是有多种选择的。你可选一个座位的漂流圈，尽享独处的妙趣；也可和你亲爱的伴侣，选浪漫的两人座，同漂同荡在清澈的河水上；你也可以和你可爱的一家人选橡皮艇一样的包厢座，一家人开心地荡漾在清冽的泉流上。 如果你厌倦了平庸的飘荡，你可随时跃入水中，感受清凉的刺激，窥视河底的秘密。你可拨弄水流，弄出水花；你可拍击水面，听她的脆响；你可轻拂泉水，体会她的温柔顺畅。 总之，一切在你。你的漂流，你做主。 位于美国佛罗里达州北部的Ichetucknee Springs是我们多年前和朋友一家一起去玩过的一个泉水州立公园。那是个天然的水泉，世外的桃园。整个河道有6英里（10公里）长，周围绿树环绕。我们是每家租了个大的气垫圈，一家人可以坐进去的那种，从上游一直飘到下游，历经几个小时。 虽然是炎热的夏季，但水面上却非常凉爽。泉水清澈见底，两岸景色秀丽。飘游在水面上，仰头蓝天白云，低头绿水清泉，环视大树参天，两岸草木郁郁葱葱十分养眼。。。真是身心都可以得到完全的放松。因为整个过程是顺水而下，不用人来划船，好轻松自在。 人们也可随时在飘游过程中随处下水游泳。即使是夏日，水里还是挺凉的。等到在下游上岸后，可坐公园提供的小火车回到上游的停车处。我们那年，两家人在那里玩了一天，非常舒适惬意。 以下图片均来自网络。 图 1 图 2 图 3 图 4 图 5 图 6 图 7 游玩的视频。 介绍的视频。 以下资料来自网络。 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia。 Ichetucknee Springs State Park Ichetucknee Springs State Park is a 2,241-acre (9.07 km2) Florida State Park and National Natural Landmark located four miles (6 km) northwest of Fort White off State Road 47 and State Road 238. It centers around the six mile (10 km) long Ichetucknee River, which flows through shaded hammocks and wetlands into the Santa Fe River. The park contains hardwood hammock and limestone outcrops. Like many rivers in this part of North Florida, the Ichetucknee is fed by natural springs which boil up (in various holes) from the aquifer. The state of Florida purchased the property in 1970 from the Loncala Phosphate Corporation for $1,850,000. Park wildlife includes white-tailed deer, raccoons, wild turkeys, wood ducks and great blue herons. There are also aquatic mammals, fishes and reptiles: i.e. turtles, water snakes, American alligators, North American river otters, West Indian manatees in the winter months, crayfish, bream, bluegill, largemouth bass, alligator gar, mullet, catfish, and several types of minnows. Recreational activities During the summer, one of the most popular park activities is floating down the Ichetucknee River in an inner tube. From the end of May until early September, "tubing" down the river is the premier activity in the park. As the water in this spring-fed river is remarkably clear, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving are extremely popular. The river's year-round temperature is 72 °F (22 °C) and therefore makes for a refreshingly cool escape from the hot afternoon temperatures in the region. Tubes and rafts, as well as snorkeling and diving equipment can be rented from private vendors outside the park. The tubing season from the North entrance normally begins on May 27. At the South entrance, the tram service operates from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Rented inner tubes and rafts are dropped off (at the end of the trip) in designated areas at the "take-out" point. This is a popular weekend getaway for the students (and faculty) of the nearby University of Florida. Amenities within this state park include restrooms, dressing rooms, a concession stand, nature trails, picnic tables and grills. Archaeology A 17th century Spanish mission site has been identified in the park, next to a short tributary connecting Fig Springs to the Ichetucknee River, about one mile (1.6 km) downstream from the head of the river. The mission has been provisionally identified as San Martín de Timucua, which was occupied in the first half of the 17th century. Plans to reconstruct the mission and open it to the public as an interpretational site were dropped. Hours The park opens at 8 a.m. every day of the year (including holidays). The entrance gates close at posted times, which vary by date and entrance. The Education and Exhibit Center is open Thursday through Monday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
