Discover the unspoiled beauty
and excitement outside the park gates, beyond the city skyline, apart from
the traffic and crowds. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Florida's
Pure Water Wilderness.
Florida's Pure Water Wilderness is an unspoiled,
three-county cluster of Mother Nature's finest work. In just over 2,000
square miles, the region is laced, dotted, etched and framed by some of
Florida's most precious liquid assets. From the Waccasassa, Withlacoochee
and Steinhatchee, to the Santa Fe and historic Suwannee, rivers run wild
and free here, carving county lines and chasing their way to the glistening
Gulf of Mexico. Lakes, ponds, creeks and springs adorn the landscape with
their cool, crystal clear shallows and mysterious, shadowy depths.
