Lithia Minor discharges about 20 percent of the total flow of the springs. Lithia Springs is part of a recreational facility leased by Hillsborough County from a private firm. Operated as a county park, there are boating, swimming, and picnicking facilities occupying about 160 acres of sandy, wooded, hill-country adjacent to the Alafia River. Limestone outcrops are common in the spring area. Analyses by U.S. Geological Survey.
