Rose Creek Sink

A deep, water-filled vertical opening within the northern reaches of Ichetucknee Springs State Park, where clear groundwater drops into an active cave system beneath steep limestone walls. The pool is striking but not swimmable due to its depth, tight shape, and protected status, and the surrounding forest is managed carefully to safeguard the Ichetucknee system. Visitors can reach the sink by foot along designated park trails, which offer safe views from the rim.
