Waddells
Mill Pond Spring is located in the Waddells Mill Creek tributary
to the Chipola River. Ground water discharges laterally from limestone
rubble beneath a 25 foot high bluff. There are limestone outcrops,
karst windows and caves in the area around this spring. It appears
that the limestone over the conduit is collapsing in an upgradient
direction over time. The spring is at the head of Waddells Mill
Pond which is 1.4 miles long. There are reported to be other spring
vents under the impounded waters but no boils were detected during
the site visit. From the outfall of the impoundment, the spring
run flows east for five miles before entering the Chipola River.
The spring is on private property.
