Florida spring

Jug Island Spring

A small, river-adjacent spring vent associated with the Steinhatchee River system near Jug Island. Rather than forming a distinct spring pool or run, it appears as a localized area of clear, cooler water entering the river, most noticeable at lower river stages. The spring is undeveloped and easy to miss, with no shoreline facilities or marked access. It’s typically encountered by boaters and paddlers traveling this stretch of the Steinhatchee rather than by land-based visitors. Conditions and visibility can vary with tides, rainfall, and river flow.
