Explore Jackson Blue Springs

The only first magnitude spring in the Chipola River Basin, the stunning Blue Springs, was referred to as Calistoble Spring by the Spanish explorers who camped in this picturesque area numerous times between 1674 and 1693. Their journals and reports offer vivid descriptions of this enchanting spring, often noting its crystal-clear waters and the surrounding gently rolling hills, where herds of majestic buffalo could be seen grazing peacefully in the lush pastures.

Today, Blue Springs has undergone a remarkable transformation into a beloved park managed by Jackson County, attracting visitors from both near and far. This scenic destination has become well-known for a diverse array of recreational activities, including swimming, hiking, picnicking, and even scuba diving—though the latter does require a county permit for those eager to explore the underwater beauty.

From the inviting common areas that encourage gathering and laughter to the meticulously maintained facilities that ensure comfort and convenience, every detail has been thoughtfully designed with the visitor in mind. Immerse yourself in the relaxing and inviting atmosphere we offer, where the natural beauty and recreational opportunities abound.
