High Springs, Florida, the location of our new Traditional Carmelite Monastery building site, is known as the “Gateway to the Springs,” because of the many crystal-clear fresh water springs that inhabit the land. High Springs is about 30 minutes northwest of Gainesville in North Central Florida. The many springs in this area include the famous Ginny Springs, Blue Springs, Poe Springs, the crystal-clear Ichetucknee River, and the Santa Fe River.
