Jackson Blue Spring
The head spring of Merritt's Mill Pond in Jackson County's Blue Springs Recreation Area; a public swimming park whose cave is used for limited scuba training and exploration. No published dive rules.
The head spring is the swimming area of Blue Springs Recreation Area, a county-run park east of Marianna. Below it, a cave complex extends into the limestone; Jackson County describes the site as managed with limited scuba training and exploration.
The county and the park operator publish hours and general admission but no diving procedure, so divers should contact the county parks office before planning a visit. Pets other than service dogs are not allowed in the park.
