Directions
Off State Road 20 about seven miles west of where it intersects with U.S. 231 north of Panama City. Put canoe in on right where SR20 crosses Econfina Creek and paddle 2/3 mile downstream to two sets of springs on the right (west) side just before a large bend in the river to the left. The spring is perhaps 250 yards below Emerald Springs.

Spring Description
Two sets of small springs are set about 20 feet from Econfina Creek in recessed banks of limestone. Water flows from limestone cavities at the base of the banks and flows a few feet into the river. There are several small flows and seeps in an attractive grotto-like setting. The flow is only a few inches deep, and would likely be invisible in times of high water levels. The first set of flows (3-4) is about 50 feet upriver of the second set of flows (2).

Note: These spring are not described in any other publication the authors have found.

Use/Access

Although it is just a short distance downstream of the Gainer/Emerald/McCormick Springs Group, this site appears to be little visited.
