The area offers swimming, hiking, and paddling opportunities.
[1] At least six springs comprise Suwannee Springs, five spilling directly into the south side of the Suwannee River.
The main spring flows inside a man-made wall 15 feet (4.6 m) high and 3 feet (0.91 m) thick of limestone rock built in the late 1890s.
The spring emerges from Oligocene age limestone and discharges hard, sulphur water.
The water maintains a year-round temperature of 70 °F (21 °C) to 76 °F (24 °C).
