Spring Description
The spring lies just below a cleared area a few yards from the larger
Blue Spring. The pool is about 15 feet in diameter and is deep blue over
the vent, which is visible from a log at the edge of the pool. The depth
of the spring appears to be about 8 feet, and the water is very clear.
The spring creates a run that flows northeasterly about 150 feet to join
the Blue Spring run just below where it is blocked by a fence. Except for
the cleared grassy area to the south of the spring, Little Blue is surrounded
by dense forest floodplain. A path has been cleared to the spring,
and there is a small floating platform on the edge of the spring.
Use/Access
The platform in the spring appears to be designed to provide a close
view of the spring.
Personal Impressions
A very attractive little spring that is overlooked by most of the visitors
to Blue Springs, only yards away.
