Convict Spring
Magnitude 3Suwannee RiverMayoPublic
Convict Spring is a small, privately owned spring emerging near the Suwannee River in Mayo, Florida. It features a wide but shallow pool—about 6 feet deep at the vent and 20 feet deep at the cave constriction—fed by an underwater cave system that forbids cave diving beyond its safe limit. The spring maintains a constant ≈ 70.5 °F year-round and is popular for surface swimming. It’s accessible via Suwannee River Rendezvous Resort & Campground, where the spring’s history ties to an early 1900s convict work camp on-site. Aim for water heights of 53 feet or less for the best clarity.
