I’ve compiled some of my photos of Florida’s springs into a little gallery

North Florida is dotted by fresh water springs that are quite large in size. In most states a spring usually constitutes a small trickle of water coming out from under some rocks. In north Florida a spring usually constitutes a large basin big enough to swim in fed by crystal clear water coming forth in thousands of gallons a day.
If you’d like to see how a spring works have a look at The Journey of Water.
These springs constitute a rare ecological environment, a great source of recreation, sources of river water and much more. Most are part of some type of park and they support recreational activities ranging from camping and canoeing, to swimming and scuba diving, including cave diving.
