Florida spring

Rita Marie Springs

A small cluster of clear, shallow vents tucked in the tidal backwaters between the Chassahowitzka River and Crawford Creek. The springs rise through sandy limestone pockets and form bright, calm pools that quickly merge into the surrounding maze of creeks and salt-marsh channels. They’re too small for swimming but easy to spot from a kayak, and access is entirely by water through the publicly navigable Chassahowitzka system.
