Alexander Springs is a first-magnitude spring located in Lake County. The spring and spring run are bordered by national forest lands, including the Alexander Springs Wilderness, and comprise one of the most scenic and biologically diverse ecosystems in the state. Several state and federally listed species have been documented within the Alexander Springs Creek basin. Because of Alexander Springs’ relatively unimpacted conditions, and many natural attributes, the spring boil and the spring run are both regionally important destinations, for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and other recreation.
