Buzzard Spring is located 80 feet east of the Chipola River at the head of a run that descends across a terraced limestone shelf. Throughout its length, the run remains shallow, approx. 0.25 feet deep. The spring consists of a 6'x10' cavity in the limestone shelf with the vent issuing laterally at the bottom of the south side. From the vent, the depth decreases from 10.3' to 4' along the sand bottom. The end of the run falls from a low limestone bluff into a set of shoals on the Chipola River.
