Florida spring

Brunson Landing Spring

Accessible by water via the public Holmes Creek paddling trail, it’s ideal for kayaking and canoeing. The spring is on private land, so direct access requires owner permission, though viewing from the creek is allowed. Launch from public ramps like Brunson Landing (SR 79, 7 miles west of Vernon) or Cotton Landing (CR 277, 3 miles north). Best visited in dry seasons (late fall to early spring) for clear water, as rain can cloud the creek with runoff. Check clear conditions at 10-12 ft; levels above 15 ft may reduce clarity.
