🌊 SANTA FE RIVER & SPRINGS UPDATE 💧

The springs are CLEAR and flowing!
We've been getting questions about conditions along the Santa Fe River, especially with the recent attention surrounding Poe Springs, so we wanted to give everyone an update.

While Poe Springs is the exception and continues to experience different conditions, the other springs along our stretch of the Santa Fe are clear, flowing, and looking beautiful. 💧

If you've been waiting for the springs to clear up before planning a river day, now is a great time to get back on the water! 🛶

Come spend the day:
💧 Exploring clear Florida springs
🛶 Paddling the beautiful Santa Fe River
🤿 Swimming & snorkeling
🐢 Watching for wildlife
🌿 Discovering some of Florida's incredible spring country

Want to make an adventure out of it? Take on our 8 Springs in 8 Miles® river trip and discover just how many springs are hiding along this incredible stretch of the Santa Fe.

🚐 Convenient Shuttle Service: Launch your adventure with Anderson's Outdoor Adventures and bring your own kayak

👉 Come explore the Santa Fe the springs are clear!

Spring and river conditions are natural and can change following rainfall and changing river levels. We'll continue sharing updates as conditions change.

What Happens to Your Trash After You Drop It Off?"

People are often surprised to learn how a transfer station actually works.

The process is:

1. 🚗 Residents arrive and weigh in.
2. 🗑️ Waste is unloaded onto the enclosed tipping floor.
3. 🚜 Equipment loads the waste into large transfer trailers.
4. 🚛 Trailers transport the waste to a permitted landfill outside Gilchrist County.
5. ♻️ Recyclable materials are handled separately when applicable.
6. 🧹 The tipping floor is cleaned daily, and leachate is collected and properly managed.
