Spring Creek is an unincorporated community and fishing village in Wakulla County, Florida.
Georgraphy
[edit]The community is located beside and eponymously named after Spring Creek, which is fed by 14 springs that pump over one billion gallons of freshwater into the Gulf of Mexico. The freshwater of the creek flows into the gulf via Oyster Bay, an estuary adjacent to the community that provides a habitat for oysters and as a harbor for oyster aquaculture.
Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge borders the community to the north.
Economy
[edit]The local economy of Spring Creek has primarily been based around fishing and oyster farming in Oyster Bay. In 1971, local resident Leo Lovell purchased the Spring Creek Restaurant which served seafood caught from the estuary. He and his family operated the restaurant until 2019 after the business suffered damage from Hurricane Michael
Transportation
[edit]Spring Creek is served by County Road 365 (Spring Creek Highway), connecting the community north to U.S. Route 98 and terminating at State Road 267 in Bethel, Florida.
