Florida spring

Sally Ward Spring

A clear, sand-bottom vent tucked into the hardwood hammock of Wakulla Springs State Park, forming a quiet oval pool that feeds a short, shaded run before joining the upper Wakulla system. The water is cool and transparent, but swimming isn’t allowed here, as the spring sits within a protected area of the park. Visitors can view it from designated trails and boardwalks that approach the spring through dense forest.
