Small, dramatic Florida spring where the Santa Fe River resurfaces through clear turquoise water, sinkholes and a shaded forest corridor.

Best at golden hour or early morning for low light, mist and empty trails; weekday mornings have few visitors. Park is accessed from US‑27 with a small parking area and boardwalk/trails—no entrance fee typical for preserves but check signage. Bring insect protection
