Florida spring
Baltzell Spring 3 - Bosel
Photo by: Florida SpringsA striking spring group known for its crystal-clear, 68-degree water and a combined flow of about 100 million gallons per day. Nestled upstream of the Florida Caverns State Park, its distinct vents—range from shallow pools to a deep river spring—offer vibrant underwater foliage and prime spots for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Accessible by water only, launch from the park’s boat ramp off SR 166 and paddle 1 mile upstream. Summer weekends draw paddlers and locals—arrive early to avoid crowds. For calm, visit weekdays in spring (April-May) or fall (September-October), mornings best. Surrounded by private property marked with no trespassing signs. Check out all three. Baltzell Springs 1 and 2 are in the secondary dataset. Water clarity is typically vivid but can cloud with tannic river water after rain. Look for low stable water levels below 6 feet for the best opportunity at clarity.
