About this Spring
A spring effectively acting as another "river rise," located about 3 miles below River Rise and a half-mile past Hornsby Spring on the Santa Fe River, roughly a quarter-mile from the High Springs boat ramp, near the former site of a 1920s-30s hotel, reachable only by a short paddle.
