North Florida spring park with cave access and simple day-use amenities.
Peacock Springs is a north Florida freshwater spring and cave system with clear basins, sink entrances, and a mix of open-water, cavern, and cave-diving access. It is best known for Orange Grove and the Peacock system, where certified teams can explore overhead passages while casual visitors use the park trails, swimming areas, and simple day-use facilities. The site combines parkland, submerged limestone passages, and a low-key spring setting rather than reef or saltwater diving.
