Wall Springs/Anderson Park

Wall Springs is a natural spring that dumps into the salt water creating an estuary then reaching the Gulf of Mexico. In 1927 it was also used as a spa for healing and treatments for health. This spring pours 2917 gallons of water a min. or 4.2 million gallons per day in brackish water and then to the Gulf of Mexico. There was Blue gill fish and turtles and Mullet fish that we saw and they can all live in fresh or salt water. Anderson Park was saw the sink hole which is a "wet sink" the depths reach groundwater. It's also connected to Lake Tarpon. I had fun that day and then lost the class the went right by me and a few class mates.
