Photo by: Florida SpringsNatural Bridge Rise is a second-magnitude spring known for its clear, 68-degree water and a flow of approximately 20-30 million gallons per day. Situated in the northern part of the county near the Alabama state line, it forms a natural limestone bridge where Natural Bridge Creek flows beneath County Road 181, creating a unique geological feature and a popular local spot for swimming and cooling off in summer. Access is via CR 181, with no entry fee noted, though the surrounding land is privately owned, so permission may be required for full access. The spring is clearest during dry periods (October-April), with clarity potentially reduced after heavy rains due to runoff from Natural Bridge Creek.
