Florida spring

Bradley Spring

A presumed small spring with clear, 72°F water and a modest flow, likely under 5 million gallons/day. Set along the Steinhatchee River, its shallow basin may offer wading, surrounded by cypress and floodplain forest. Access is via boat or private land (permission needed). Summer weekends may draw paddlers—arrive early. For quiet, visit weekdays, mornings in spring (Apr-May) or fall (Sep-Oct). Clarity is good but can cloud with river backflow. Check USGS 02325000 (Steinhatchee River near Cross City)—current height ~6 ft, low levels (5-7 ft) ensure clarity, best in dry seasons (Oct-Apr).
