Troy Springs
★★★★☆
(621)
This 70-foot-deep, first-magnitude spring offers opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Nestled in the shallow water of the spring run are the remains of the Civil War-era steamboat Madison, which was scuttled in 1863 to keep it from being captured.
You can see blue catfish, crappie, Florida gar, and bass. Fishing is permitted from the river bank or river dock. Fishing is not permitted in the swimming area.
