Family owned and operated since 1853. Jewel’s sink has been a special place that the Blanton family has swam and celebrated things at for 5 generations. It’s a slice of paradise hidden away from the hardships of society’s rat race. You can see to the bottom when the sun hits the water at the right time of day. It’s crystal clear blue like the springs that feed the rivers. This is truly a foundation of youth!

Spring Finders Dream
The sink itself is a dream. Highly recommend to go down there at mid day when the sun is shining into sink- whole different experience and color when the light shows off the blue. Not recommended for children. Have to be physically able to descend down a 3 foot drop. Loop rope provided to help down. And the light reflections onto the cliff side were breathtaking! Something we’ve never experienced before. We went late May 2023- 3pm was the perfect time for visibility- Take your pictures before getting in and mucking up the water!

Peaceful private weekend getaway
We truly enjoyed our 2 nights there. Beautiful property with a private natural spring swim hole. Very peaceful & Michael was so accommodating and nice. We recommend a 34ft max on RVs visiting simply due to the entry/exit but he did say he plans on improving that. We have a 40ft. Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel & did not fit easily - not for the faint of heart squeezing in & out but still was well worth it!! We saw turkey in the distance and deer too. Thanks again!

Great Camping Trip
This is a remarkable place to camp for a couple days. Big open field with a fire pit and very private. I to the woods is a large deep sink hole with a spring at the bottom you can swim in. This is not a state park or even a private ground. It’s private property and the owners are nice enough to share their natural phenomenon with others. We had a blast. The sky was cloudy but later that night it opened up and the stars were amazing.

Michael's land was amazing. The spring was crystal clear and very refreshing. I took my 2 dogs and the loved being able to run around off leash. I would definitely recommend the experience.
