Suwannee County is known for its crystal clear fresh water springs and cave diving. The springs are mostly along the river and offer a serene escape into the stunning natural Florida wilderness. The water coming from the springs is 72F year round. Each spring is unique in both size and topography of their turquoise pools and lush tropical vegetation. These are wild areas and it is not uncommon to spot fish, turtles, snails, and other freshwater residents, including the occasional state reptile, the American alligator. Most of the public springs have some facilities, picnic tables, fishing access and are being updated with more accessibility. Many of the springs have nature trails as well as other features.
