Devil’s Den is a prehistoric underground spring housed within a dry cave, creating one of Florida’s most unique diving and snorkeling destinations. The collapsed cavern opens to a pristine spring pool with year-round 72°F water and exceptional visibility. The site features wooden platforms, changing areas, and gear rental, making it accessible for overlanders wanting to experience Florida’s karst geology firsthand.
Located just off US-19 between the Withlacoochee State Forest trails, it’s a perfect cooling-off stop during summer trail runs. Entry requires a fee and advance reservations are recommended during peak season. The site closes at sunset, so plan accordingly.
