I remember the first time I saw Blue Spring. It was a time in my life when I did not enjoy hiking or even being outdoors. The trail to the spring is an easy and flat one mile trail. However, I still complained the ENTIRE way to my hiking companion about the humidity, the bugs, the sand, the spider webs, and how I wanted to go home soon. We got to the area and my irritable disposition gave way to complete awes. The spring was the blueish blue I had ever seen and I could not believe what my eyes had seen! There is essentially a giant hole in the ground, that is actually a cave shaft, and one can see all the way to the bottom (except during high rain and snow melt). There is no slight decline, just straight down with beautiful sights of watercress and moss.
Blue Spring is located 12 miles east of Eminence on HWY 106
Oh wait! I confused this with Big Spring...lol...anyhow, I'm going here soon too. I'm waiting until I can get some extra gas money.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is beautiful water. Do you know if people dive there?
ReplyDeletedefinitely not. I've heard of people illegally diving but it's not that kind of water. Most springs systems are delicate and Blue Spring is no exception.
ReplyDeleteThe water is very pretty isn't it, it reminds me of The Gulf in Ellsinore here in Missouri also known as The Blue Hole, I have pictures of it if anyone wants to see them contact me at djvp001@yahoo.com
