About Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge

Remote and pristine US Fish & Wildlife refuge accessible only by water. Multiple first-magnitude spring vents emerge throughout the refuge including Chassahowitzka Spring, Ruth Spring, and others. Excellent snorkeling and scuba in crystal-clear water. Manatees and river otters common. No facilities at the springs themselves — bring everything you need.
