Blue Springs is a spring in Marion County, in the U.S. state of Florida.[1]

It is a third-magnitude spring, found along the southern part of the Ocklawaha River, but is currently submerged by the Rodman Reservoir.[2]

Blue Springs is an English translation of the former Spanish name Las Aguas Azules; both names were given on account of the spring's blue waters.[3]
