Blind Spring is located 5.2 mi southwest of the town of Chassahowitzka at the head of Blind Creek, which flows west into the Gulf of Mexico. Access to the spring is by water only. The spring can be reached by boating out the mouth of the Chassahowitzka River and south approximately 1.8 miles to Blind Creek.

Description - Blind Spring has a roughly circular spring pool measuring 90 ft in diameter. Depths near the center reach 55 ft. There are submerged limestone shelves along the north side of the pool. Algae and dark silt deposits are common along the bottom and sides of the spring. In March 2003, during a period of heavy rain, there was a large boil on the spring surface, and the water was extremely tannic and murky. The water reportedly becomes clear and bluish during drier periods. Blind Spring is the reemergence of a subterranean section of Blind Creek. Blind Creek forms in the eastern edge of the Chassahowitzka Swamp. Beauford Spring is near the head waters of Blind Creek. From Beauford Spring, Blind Creek travels approximately 2.8 miles northwest and into a siphon. The siphon is approximately 0.7 miles southeast of Blind Spring. The creek flows underground toward Blind Spring and reemerges as Blind Spring. From Blind Spring, the creek travels another 1.8 miles north and west through open brackish and salt marsh to the Gulf of Mexico. Blind Spring and lower Blind Creek are tidally influenced. Swift tidal currents have scoured the limestone bottom for a few hundred feet below Blind Spring. There are numerous limestone fissures and vent openings in and along the first 400 ft of Blind Creek below Blind Spring. A private fishing cabin on stilts is along the east side of Blind Creek approximately 500 ft downstream from the spring. Blind Spring is situated on the west side of the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, at the ecological boundary between coastal palm-hardwood-cedar hammock and open salt marsh.
