The headspring of Madison Blue Spring State Park; a large cave opening about 9 metres down in the pool is the main entrance to the cave system. Certified cavern and cave divers only.
The spring pool sits in a limestone basin on the Withlacoochee River, shaded by hardwoods and pines, and is one of the region's most popular swimming holes. About 30 feet (9 metres) below the surface, a large opening leads into an extensive underwater cave.
Florida State Parks allows only certified cavern and cave divers here. Divers sign in at the front of the main boardwalk to the spring, and the park reminds visitors that it can close for hours on busy weekends once it reaches capacity.
