Indian Springs, Indian Springs State Park, Georgia

Description

Has spout, and is in a covered area, there is no light when it is dark so keep that in mind. This is a state park and the mineral content is posted, really high in sulfer and silica. The water smells like rotten eggs, and wow this is truly healing water. According to some this is in the top ten healing springs of the world and has been known by the natives as being sacred and healing. Some of the best water ever for sure!

Directions from Nearest Address

Address/Directions
Indian Springs State Park
678 Lake Clark Road
Flovilla , GA 30216

From I-75 southbound, take exit #205 to Jackson; proceed south on Ga. Hwy. 42 to the park. From I-75 northbound, take exit #188; proceed north on Ga. Hwy. 42. Approximately 15 miles from exits.

When you enter the park there is a stone covered area next to the river, in the front near the road. The water you want is in a covered open structure with the number 2 on it. You will smell it when you get close, for this water is extremely rich in sulfer. Don’t panic, you get used to the smell after you get a taste for this magical water, and after you collect it the smell leaves within a few days. The area is very well marked, you can’t miss it.

    Going today, excited and a bit nervous about the high sulfur water. Does healing mean healing crisis, Nathan?

    I'll let you know!

    Thank you for posting this!

  • Peggy

    So, I went on saturday…what fun. I am usually the only one at a spring collecting water, but this is a popular spring and three people were taking turns filling jugs while I was there. A spring party!
    It was heartwarming to see people valuing this water enough to drive hours to come get it. I have been drinking it all week. I drank some fresh/high sulfur and it was fine ofr me. I let my jugs sit with the caps off and the smell dissipated after one day.

    It is a very smooth rich water.

    Many Thanks to Nathaniel for posting.

    Hey, I filled collected water there on friday. I loved it. Im happy to see some other people in georgia like gathering there own spring water too. By the way, do you know of any other springs in georgia? I actually found one myself which i would be happy to share. Reply back if you would like directions or more info. The only springs i am aware of are Cave Springs, Indian Springs, and Stanley Springs (the spring i found). Do you know of any others???

    - Thanks Joe

    -hah, when i bought home the Indian springs water my whole family thought i was crazy. They could not believe a water that smelt so bad could be so good for you =)

  • Peggy

    Hey Joe,
    I don't know of any other springs in Ga, yet. I know of one in western NC that I need to post. I'll bet there are tons of springs in the mountains in north Ga. Where is Stanley Springs? I was just hiking this week on a road called Stanley Creek near Blue Ridge, Ga. There were tons of creeks and waterfalls.

    hey,
    Stanley Springs is located just half an hour away from Cave Springs. The spring belonged to an old man who lived in Rome Georgia. He passed away about 10 years ago and made his spring open to the public. I went for my first time yesterday and ran into a family that had been drinking the water for 2+ years and they said everyone in that area drinks from it (so its safe) =) Heres the address Google maps gave me… “Old Dalton Rd NE, Rome, Floyd, Georgia 30165″. This is not exactly right though. If you are traveling north on Old Dalton road you will cross over highway 140 and the spring will be in a large gated community about a half mile on the left (after crossing over highway 140).

    If you get lost, just ask someone on Old Dalton Road where the spring is. They will know what you are talking about.

    I just recently submitted the spring and hopefully it will be posted soon. The water tested inbetween 6.5 and 7.0 on the ph scale. And the water testes about 47 ppm. This is great! I have been gathering 100% of my own water now for a couple months and the spring i have been going to have been about 90-120 ppm. This means that Stanley Springs provides “light” drinking water for everyday use. It truly is a great water!

    Also, by the way. It is not acually called Stanley Springs. It does not have a name! The mans name who owned the spring was “Stanley”. So i use the name “Stanley Springs”.

    - enjoi, and let me know how your experience goes =)

    Thank you Joe! I will check it out for sure. I just submitted the spring in western NC, too. I am glad you posted, because I just had a major healing happen this past week, and I have been trying to gather the factors that contributed. I don't think it was one individual thing, but I had completely forgotten about drinking the Indian Springs water for over a week. I feel like a new person inside and out.
    Best Health to you!

    How do you store the water after you get it home? I don't have room for gallons of water in my refrigerator. I live very near Indian Springs and this is good news for me.

  • Kia

    Just went yesterday! Great! FYI: A jug larger than 1 gallon will not fit under the spigot, so if you bring a 5gallon jug bring a 1 gallon to get the water and pour it into your big jug. But you only get two gallon fills at a time and then the next person goes, so to make it fair. So it make take like 30 minutes depending on how many people are there, but it's worth it! GO!

    I went today and it was great!! I want to drink only spring water I gather myself but all the springs listed here are so far away from me! Indian Springs is the closest, but I would like to have a drinking water that is more suited to daily drinking. There has to be a spring closer to Athens, GA! If anyone knows of one, please post :) Thanks!!

    There was a spring up in Burnsville NC down 19 W, next to the Cane River. It is coming out of the hill/mountainside on roadside. I noticed it when I lived up near there, people would often gather the water. There are probably many springs like that thru the area.

  • Kathy

    I am willing to go at night when there is probably not many people. Is it open 24/7, anyone know?

  • Jvauss73

    Wow I can not believe there is natural healing spring water in this place. I can’t wait to go. I will bring my kids too. They will love this. Question: since this is string water, do I have to store it in the fridge? If not, how long can I store it?

  • Vern

    No, it’s not 24/7.  I just went yesterday August 28, 2011.  I’ts open from 7am till dark.  Hope that helps.

    I just started drinking this water. After only 1 1/2 weeks of drinking it, my knee no longer hurts. When I first tried to walk up and down the stairs to the water I could not do it. My friend brought the jugs up the stairs to me and I walked them to the car. Yesterday, 1 1/2 weeks later, I not only walked up and down the stairs, but was able to carry  two 7.5 gallon jugs filled with this healing water up both sets of stairs. Combined weight was over 124 lbs.
