Looking for any reports of open systems around Cave County in FL

[bentcaver]

A few of us are on the road heading down to High Springs we are trying to figure out what systems are open. Interested in Peacock, Jug, Little River, Telford and others. We have seen that the rivers have been up but not much chatter about conditions

Any help appreciated.

Peacock - Open
Jug - Open
Little River - Closed
Telford - Closed
Madison - Closed

^^ +1!

See that the river level at Madison dropped but has been stable for a few days. Any word if conditions there are improving?

Word on the street is Peacock is pushing out some rather clear water right now. Rennaker's just made a FB post via Patrick Picard saying that "Conditions...on peanut line...getting close to crackling. Great improvement over yesterday". Also, the viz at Ginnie is still crystal and it seems the high water level on the Santa Fe has the flow somewhat sedated. The river gages are a great reference, but don't seem to be indicative of whats actually going on right now. There is plenty of great diving to be had at the moment!

Live cams at selected dive sites? There is a live cam set up at Blue Springs, Orange City to monitor the Manatee activity.

Yep peacock is improving day by day.
Did waterhole and Olsen bypass yesterday. Waterhole had lots of silt on walls to be disturbed. Such a beautiful dive. Looks like waterhole could be exited fairly easy now.

Peanut line is quite close to crackling, even in the afternoon after divers have been in the system. You can see water movement in all sinks, even at challenge

Ginnie is indeed very very blue. Gorgeous conditions there

I got news yesterday that though the gate at Little River is closed right now, there is a visible boil, not sure how high the water is there however. The basin is tannic at the moment but with some luck hopefully it won't be too long before it is opened. There is some standing water in the park still so I imagine that is part of what's keeping the gates closed. Conditions at Ginnie are the best they have been in a bit, I've heard Manatee also has been looking pretty nice and of course Jug is always awesome and since it's only open for a little while people should dive it while they can. I'm glad to hear that Peacock is improving. There are enough options to keep you busy while you're in town.
