Buford Spring

★★★★★ (942)

Buford Spring is located in a swampy area of the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area in Hernando County, FL. Divers must check in at an iron ranger at the main entrance off US 19 and pay a $3.00 daily fee. The maximum depth is about 50 mtr/165 feet at the siphoning downstream end of the main cavern/cave.

The inflow comes from some outflowing areas at 140’. There is also some slow flow from some low bedding planes on the left side of the cavern at 60-70’.
