Troy Springs State Park

Troy Springs is a freshwater spring on the Suwannee River in Suwannee County, in north-central Florida. The spring run is a popular spot for swimming and snorkeling, and the site is known for the remains of the steamboat Madison, a Confederate-era vessel scuttled in the river during the Civil War and still visible on the sandy bottom of the spring basin. Water clarity here is generally very good given the constant spring flow, and the spring itself is not especially deep, with the basin reaching roughly 25 to 70 feet near the wreck area. It is a popular training and recreational dive for both snorkelers and certified divers given the shallow, calm conditions typical of Florida spring systems.
