Tupelo Spring

 

This spring is located in the Econfina Creek watershed. The spring vent is located on the west bank of Econfina Creek, approximately 0.83 miles downstream of Walsingham Bridge. The spring is composed of two vents, each approx. 4 feet deep, separated by a fallen tupelo tree. The vents discharge into a shallow sediment laden pool separated from the Econfina by a low sandbar. At times of high water the pool is covered by Econfina Creek. A small private recreational clearing with chairs and tables is located across the creek from the spring. The spring is adjacent to Water Management District Land.
