Jun 6, 2016 - Have you ever looked at a picture or watched a movie clip and asked yourself, 'Is that place even real?' I feel that way when I look back at my own pictures of Morrison Springs. I remember puling up to the parking lot. I was really impressed with the new pavement, nice pavilion and new boardwalks.

Aug 22, 2015 - My friend Adam and I recently visited Morrison Springs, a beautiful, crystal-clear spring located about 1.5 hours east of Pensacola. The exact location of the spring is Ponce de Leon, Florida buuuuut there isn't much to see there besides a couple of swimming spots

Jun 3, 2015 - On one of our days toward the end of the trip we decided to drive a great distance to see a large spring we'd never visited. It was over 160 miles from the park, but we decided to make the drive because we don't know when we'd be even that close to it for at least a couple of more years.
Sep 7, 2014 - I have written a couple of posts already about Morrison Springs scuba diving escapades but this story is really about out of town visitors first time experience in scuba diving in a freshwater spring and entering a spring caverns. My friend Dave works in Coronado, CA and he brought a friend Kevin who is an engineer at the Navy's Carderock Division in West Bethesda, MD.
