About this Spring
Also called "The Jug," this sapphire-blue, first-magnitude spring is about 37-40 feet deep and opens into a mapped flooded cave system roughly 500-600 feet long, popular with certified cave divers and visited by turtles, fish, and occasional manatees, reached via a roughly 0.4-0.5 mile walk from the parking area, the only Ichetucknee spring where scuba diving is permitted.
