The rivers are spring fed and crystal clear. The underwater visibility is typically 50 ft or more.

Directions to Pool From Jacksonville (North): Take 301 S from I-10. Go
through Starke and Waldo. Please note that the section of road between
I-10 and Gainesville is notorious as being one of the worst speed traps
in the country! If the speed limit is 35 mph don't travel 36! Take
route 24 south (Waldo Road) to Gainesville. Once in Gainesville, take a
right on 8th Avenue (the numbers will go down). Then take the first
right onto NE 14th St. The pool is approximately 500 yards on the LHS.


Directions to Pool From South: Take I-75 N to Exit 76 (Newberry Rd.)
Head East (right) towards Gainesville. In approximately one mile, take
a left onto 8th Ave. Follow 8th Ave for 5-6 miles. You'll pass from
the NW section of town into the NE section of town. After Main St. the
street names will have a NE on them. Once you pass Main St., the street
numbers will start to increase. Take a left on NE 14th St. The pool is
approximately 500 yards on the LHS. If you cross Waldo Rd. (route 24)
while traveling on 8th Ave., you have gone too far.
