Florida spring

Columbia Spring

It creates a semicircular pool over 150 ft wide, with a spring run approximately 500 ft long leading into the river. The area is privately owned but popular for paddling and swimming, set within a cypress-hardwood floodplain ecosystem. Clarity improves when the gage heights are at or below 2.5 ft. Low river levels mean the resurgence spring's own clear groundwater dominates, reducing tannic dilution.
