From High Springs, drive south on U.S. 27/41 about 1.0 mile (1.6 km). Turn west (right) onto State Road 340 (Poe Springs Road) and drive about 6.6 miles and then turn north (right) onto a graded road at the sign for Ginnie Springs. Follow the road another mile to the entrance. Little Devil Spring is upstream of Ginnie Spring.

Description - Little Devil Spring issues into an oval-shaped pool that measures 65 ft north to south and 30 ft east to west. The vent is a limestone fissure in the center of the pool 21 ft deep. The spring water is clear blue and there is little aquatic vegetation. The spring run is 20 ft wide and 8 ft deep with aquatic vegetation on both sides. The run flows northeast 225 ft, passing Devil’s Eye and Devil’s Ear Springs before entering the Santa Fe River from the south. The spring pool, which is ringed by grass and cypress trees, is used for swimming, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Picnic facilities and a gravel parking lot are adjacent to the spring pool to the west and southwest. The spring is located within Ginnie Springs Outdoors, a private campground and outdoor recreation concession.
