Directions
From intersection of SR 490A and U.S. 19 in Homosassa, go north on U.S. 19 for approximately (not measured) 2 miles. Look for sign for Riversport Kayaks at 2300 S. Suncoast Boulevard. Put in at boat launch and take canal to main channel of Hall's River; proceed upriver to headwaters, a total distance of perhaps a mile. Lat. 28.49.36.509, Long. 82.34.49.176.

Spring Description
The authors have not yet visited this spring, so rely on the description provided by Champion & Starks:

Hall's River Head Spring is located at the upstream end of Hall's River, a 2.5 mile long tributary of the Homosassa River. Many springs in Hall's River are hard to locate due to the width, shallowness, and vegetation in the river. The spring pool is approximately 200 feet across and contains a few sand boils, but no obvious vent or boil at the water surface. The spring is tidally influenced (May 2001, p. 63).

Use/Access
Due to the difficulty of reaching the headwaters, the site is little-visited. However, it is not a great distance from the boat launch, which also rents canoes and kayaks for either half a day or all day. The rental site also had a good map of the area that could be used for reference.
