Florida spring

Sun Springs

Known for its clear, 72-degree water and a modest flow, likely under 5 million gallons per day. Set in a bowl-shaped depression along the Suwannee River, its 99x132-foot pool—up to 14 feet deep—offers a spot for kayaking and snorkeling, surrounded by hardwoods and cypress. Accessible only by boat from SW 25th St ramp (0.35 miles downstream), it’s on private land, so respect boundaries. Summer weekends draw paddlers—arrive early for calm. For quiet, visit weekdays in spring (April-May) or fall (September-October), mornings ideal. Water clarity is typically vivid but can cloud with Suwannee River backflow after rain. Check —stable, low levels around 10 feet ensure clarity, clearest from late fall to early spring during dry periods.
