Florida’s spring-fed rivers are quiet stunners — underground aquifers surfacing to form short, crystal-clear waterways that wind through the state’s interior. The best way to experience them is slowly, standing on a paddleboard, drifting where the water tells you to go. We flew into Tampa and eased into the trip with lunch at the Heights Public Market, an active collection of local vendors that feels like a culinary snapshot of Tampa Bay -- warm, welcoming, and full of multicultural flavors.
