Spring Description

The authors have not located the spring, which appears to be on private property. At the bridge, the water is clear, about eight feet wide, 1-2 feet deep, and flows east to the Wakulla River. The run appears to enter the Wakulla River just below where power lines cross the river. More specifically, it appears to enter from the west just below the River Plantation boatramp by the northern end of an island just below the River Plantation boatramp.

The clarity of the water, the proximity to Wakulla Springs, and the karst topography of the surrounding area suggests the run is formed by a spring. It is not known how far the head of the run is from the one-lane bridge. The distance from the bridge to the Wakulla River is estimated to be between 1/3 and ½ mile.

Use/Access

A sign near the bridges notes the land near the run is private and may not be trespassed by hunters.
Shallow water and obstructions prevent any water access. The land directly adjacent to the run and run is thick, hardwood, floodplain forest. Further from the run, the land is planted in mature pine tree farms.
