This is a smaller spring adjacent to the main Blue Springs.
A short but picturesque kayak run near Rum Island Park and Gilchrist County Blue Springs State Park.  You can continue kayaking down the Santa Fe River from the springs which has several put in and take out points passing additional springs.
