Vortex Spring Adventures

Very cool spring (68*) and has great snorkeling. The facility is in need of some updates/repairs. The walking bridge over the spring is very unsteady.

Went to Vortex for our first set of certification dives and it was amazing! Plenty of underwater structure for scuba practice and activities at depth including a small boat, an artificial cave system, and concrete pad with tethered buoy for group skills. Plus a nearby talk box at around 18-20ft depth for instruction (or secrets!) Actual cave/spring entrance at 50ft depth was super cool to explore, even if you aren’t certified to actually go in 😉. Families on the swimming side looked like they were having an absolute blast with the high dive and rope swing, and the chicken tenders someone in our group bought looked amazing!

Trice adventures

Drove 5 hours for a weekend trip here, instantly greeted with a very, very unkempt dirt road. I might as well just be driving on an off-road trail. The road was washed away in some parts and very bumpy the whole way through. I actually ended up tearing the bottom of my car out from this. I’m extremely unhappy about that, and that was just the main road in the whole park, not the off-road trail they have. Then I get to the cabin, and it looks like it was an abandoned building. The toilet was leaking all over the floor, so making use of the restroom was very difficult. There was so much wrong that I can’t even say it all in this one review. Needless to say, it looked like the park has been abandoned for 10 years. The benches near the springs had rust all over them, so sitting on them was just a risk. I would not bring kids here. It’s very dangerous and unkempt. Also, don’t drive a car here that’s sorta low. It will mess your car up. This place has so much potential if it was owned by someone who cared and took care of the place. Very unfortunate.

Entry is $15 per person. If you'd like a very "occupied" visit to a natural springs, come out to Vortex Springs. I'm sure it's a lot more fun with more crowds. We were one of 2 couples there and the slides were not on. We spent maybe 20mins there and left. Not worth the price. We did get to swing once then couldn't get the "rope" back. Best thing about it are all the kitties!! 🤗

Water was so clear and beautiful. 68 degrees really cools you down fast! If you are cold natured, a wet suit is highly recommended. The people working here were very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back!

My family went through an Open Water Certification class with Dolphin Dive Center in Athens GA and this is where Tim and Hunter come to do the checkout open water dives. Great contained location for beginners and the clarity of the water was just what they needed. The air temperature was 32 to 39 degrees out which made it interesting when out of the water but the staff was super nice and lit fires in the fire rings for the divers - well done Vortex Springs staff! Overall great experience!

This place was incredible! The water was literally crystal clear and there were two very fun slides and a rope swing. But it also has a lot of fun stuff to look at while scuba diving... And a cave 80 feet down! I went down there, and it was SO cool!

So cool and refreshing during the hot days of summer!! The kids had leaps and bound of fun!! Could not slow them down sliding into the water and swimming fun all day long. We grilled a great meal with grlls that are at each and every picnic table witch was awesome after swimming all day and hungry. They also have little stores on site in case you need anything. Ice cream, soda,chips etc,........over all wonderful place to visit 😊😍🏖

It was really cool! I've never been any place like this before. Half of the slides and swim areas aren't able to be used from storms. But my kids had a blast!

I did my first day of diving here. It was so cool to swim around the cave, boat, and see all the fish. It was a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.
