A. Wayne Lee Spring is a spring in Sumter County, Florida, west of Interstate 75 near the Lake Panasoffkee watershed. In the USGS Lake Panasoffkee study, it is listed as Wayne Lee Spring and identified as SP19.

The spring forms a run that flows into Little Jones Creek about one mile downstream from Henry Green Spring. Little Jones Creek then continues toward Lake Panasoffkee, making Wayne Lee Spring part of the broader spring-fed surface-water system that contributes to the lake.

The spring is also listed in Florida spring monitoring materials as A. Wayne Lee Spring, with an unknown magnitude and a basin grouping of Group 4. Your USGS monitoring screenshot also shows an active monitoring location near the spring area, suggesting that water data have been collected in the vicinity.

A 2015 Orlando Sentinel article mentioned A. Wayne Lee Spring in the context of environmental concerns related to the proposed Sabal Trail natural-gas pipeline. The article reported that the spring was considered especially vulnerable because of nearby karst terrain and aquifer sensitivity.

Public access information for A. Wayne Lee Spring appears limited, and the spring is described by USGS as being on private property. Visitors should not assume access is available.
