Suwannee Springs, once known as Suwannee Sulphur Springs is the site of natural springs and was a historic mineral spring tourist attraction and hotel in Suwannee Springs, Florida near Live Oak, Florida. It is now managed by the Suwannee River Water Management District. The area offers swimming, hiking, and paddling opportunities.[1]

At least six springs comprise Suwannee Springs, five spilling directly into the south side of the Suwannee River. The main spring flows inside a man-made wall 15 feet (4.6 m) high and 3 feet (0.91 m) thick of limestone rock built in the late 1890s.[2]

Suwannee Springs is a second magnitude spring with an average flow of 23.4 cubic feet (0.66 m3) per second. The spring emerges from Oligocene age limestone and discharges hard, sulphur water. The water maintains a year-round temperature of 70 °F (21 °C) to 76 °F (24 °C).[3]

The Suwannee Springs is also the place where the Lynching of Willie James Howard took place.
