A spring‑fed swimming park operated by Gilchrist County. The site features two primary boil ponds connected by a spring run and a half-mile boardwalk. It’s publicly accessible by land and via the river, well-developed with camping, canoeing, snorkeling, and diving amenities. Water clarity is excellent (crystal‑clear) in the spring ponds and along the run before mixing with the darker Suwannee River water. Water is typically clear but look for water levels below 10 feet for the best chance of clarity.
