Little River Spring
Photo by: Florida SpringsKnown for its clear, 72-degree water and a flow of about 10-20 million gallons per day. Set near the Suwannee River, its key-shaped pool—2-4 feet deep over a limestone shelf—offers a scenic spot for swimming, snorkeling, and cave diving, surrounded by a 25-foot river levee. Accessible via CR 248 (no boat needed, free entry), it’s a short walk from the parking lot. Summer weekends draw crowds—arrive by 8 AM. For quiet, visit weekdays in spring (April-May) or fall (September-October), mornings ideal. There is a fee to enter as it is a county park. Water clarity is typically vivid but can cloud with Suwannee River backflow during high water. Check —stable, low levels around 6-7 feet ensure clarity, clearest from late fall to early spring during dry periods.
