The Blue Hole is one of the easiest natural attractions to reach in Walker County. The spring is located just a short distance from a parking area off Blue Hole Road.
The water is so clear in the Blue Hole, you can see clear to the bottom. The water is extremely cold, but that doesn’t stop some folks from taking a “polar plunge” on New Year’s Day.
This spring also provides a starting point for those hiking to Ellison’s Cave.
