Although barely discernable here this photo shows the water fall at the terminus of the Weeping Ridge Trail. This seep or spring is one of hundreds in Florida.
A spring is the water discharged as natural leakage or overflow from an aquifer through a natural opening in the ground. The opening may be so small that it yields only enough water to create a wet seep or trickle.
On the other hand, the opening -- and the associated subterranean cavern that is common to Florida -- may be so large that the spring flow is the source of a large river. Some examples are Silver Run from Silver Springs; Blue Run from Rainbow Springs; Weeki Wachee River from Weeki Wachee Springs; and Wakulla River from Wakulla Springs.
This type of ground-water discharge is typical of Florida's karst topography -- a land of numerous sinkholes, caves, springs, and underground drainage through large cavities in the limestone and dolomite rocks underlying the surface soils.
