Hancock Springs Free Flow Swim Area

Loved it! Water stays 68° even on the hottest days. It's cash only so make sure you come prepared. The earlier you get there, the better the spot you can grab. There are only a few picnic tables so be sure to bring your own chairs, tables, or picnic blankets just in case. Make sure you store food securely as opened containers of drinks and food can attract bees, flies, and ants. I stored all of my food in my cooler or plastic ziplock bags and did not have a problem, and they also have garbage bins around the area. They have bathrooms by the pool and lifeguards on duty. Parking space is ample.

It's really beautiful, you can swim and look under the water easily, you can bring your awn snacks, and a cooler... the entrance is $3 (only cash). I invite you to visit this lake, you will love it, but you have to be ready for the cold temperatures of this crystal clear water.

I loved it so much I went back the next day. The water is cool and clean. Engr first day, the pool was at capacity, so I waited about 10 minutes to get in. There are lots of rules, so be prepared to violate one or two of them. The life guards are strict, which is good.

Nice place to hang for the day. Natural water pool running all the time. Shades to stay and picnic. You can bring your cooler, just not glass or alcohol. They also have ten minutes break where kids have to go out to allow adults to swim and that's every hour. Safeguards all the time. Deepest is 7.5 feet and 3 the shortest. Very recommended.

This place is amazing the only reason I gave it four stars was because of the title on Google maps it gave the impression it was free. But there is a minor fee to pay. And they don’t accept cards!!! CASH ONLY!!! So remember that when you go otherwise you gotta drive back out n get cash. Parking was okay if it’s not too packed which we did catch it on a packed day(Saturday) you’ll know it’s crowded when you can’t find parking. But we went twice already both times were great!! I love the water it’s clear and clean and cold!! You can pack coolers and food to bring in for the kids, chairs, mats to sit on. Cute little set up. Every 30 mins i believe they blow whistles for the kids to get out and let the adults marinate in there for a min. Prolly like a 15-20 min break. Other than that it’s a ni
