About this Spring
A limestone cavern in the Silver Springs system once viewed by glass-bottom boat tourists and featured in a 1951 promotional legend about star-crossed lovers Claire Douglas and Bernice Mayo, also used as a filming backdrop for "Creature from the Black Lagoon." Sediment and vegetation buildup led park officials to close public access decades ago, so it is now visible only to cave divers.
