Jackson Blue Springs – A Local Natural Gem

One of the area’s most iconic natural features is Jackson Blue Springs, a first-magnitude spring located about 5 miles from Stay n Go RV Park. It's a favorite for locals and visitors alike—especially during the warmer months.

What You’ll Find

Blue Springs is managed by Jackson County Parks & Recreation and offers a clean, well-maintained environment with something for everyone. It’s perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers looking to enjoy Florida’s natural side.

Merritt’s Mill Pond – Kayaking & Clear-Water Adventure

Just downstream from Blue Springs, Merritt’s Mill Pond is a narrow, crystal-clear body of water fed by numerous natural springs. It's a local kayaking hotspot and one of the clearest spring-fed waterways in the state.

Highlights Include

With multiple access points nearby, you can paddle straight through a surreal environment of towering cypress trees, limestone bluffs, and aquatic vegetation. It’s quiet, beautiful, and unforgettable.

The Chipola River – A Scenic Escape

For those who love a slightly more adventurous paddle, the Chipola River is another local treasure. It winds through forests, floodplains, and limestone outcroppings, offering an entirely different experience from the springs.

Several local guides offer drop-off and pickup services, or you can bring your own gear and enjoy a peaceful float at your own pace.
