Winter (Mid-December to Mid-March)

Winter is an excellent time to visit Ocala/Marion County. Temperatures are cooler and the sky tends to stay sunnier, giving you more opportunities than ever to enjoy our breathtaking Florida nature.

What to Pack

Florida winters are incredible. Usually warm enough in the daytime to swim in our crystal-clear springs that remain at 72°F year-round, but still cool and comfortable. Make sure to prepare in case temperatures change one way or the other, but usually it’s a very mild time of year.
