About this Spring
A second-magnitude spring forming a narrow, deep hole in the bottom of the St. Johns River in Little Lake George, plunging to about 48 feet amid surrounding river depths of only 5-9 feet, the tannic "root beer" water hides it from view entirely, and it's a well-known but hazardous technical/cave diving site with strong current and a saltwater halocline.
