Leonard GudeWe visited Buford Springs in the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area. It's a short hike from the parking area to the springs. You have to use satellite mode because Google maps doesn't know the roads and will get you in trouble. Other pictures posted here are of Weeki Wachee springs and river at the south side of the WMA.
