We are now in Wakulla Springs. It is one of the world's largest and deepest fresh water springs. The bowl of the spring cover approximately three acres and the temperature remains a constant 70 degrees year-round. A record peak flow from the spring on April 11, 1973 was measured at 14,325 gallons per second! This sanctuary provides a natural habitat for many wildlife such as alligators, turtles, deer, and birds.
A bit of trivia....in the 40's two Tarzan movies were filmed here, in the 50's Creature from the Black Lagoon, and in the 70's Airport 77 and Joe Panther were filmed here.
