Troy Spring is a huge karst spring, which contains the remains of the paddle wheeled steamboat Madison. It was scuttled in the spring in 1863 during the Civil War. Only some ribs and metal spikes which once made up part of the hull remain.
Troy Spring is located adjacent to the Suwannee River and the spring water flows directly into the river. So there is actually no river at all, springing from this spring, as the water is immediately swallowed by the river.
The spring is used for diving. There is a fee for diving, the certification card is required, and solo diving is not permitted.
