Pitt and Sylvan Springs — Attraction in Lynn Haven

Pitt Spring is beautiful, clean, and well maintained. There are three little pavilions with picnic tables, better get there early if you'd like to snag one! There are little charcoal grills, too! The boardwalk is nice. We saw a box turtle the size of a quarter so watch where you step. We spoke with the Ranger, she was a wealth of information and works hard to keep the area clean and welcoming. I though the previous reviews about the restrooms were an exaggeration but, indeed, the composting bathrooms were very riper that others I've experienced.

The drive to each on the gravel road is actually very cool...makes you feel like you're in the mountains, if...

We floated from Williford springs to Pitts springs and it was an hour long float. There are just a couple of debris spots to look out for from hurricane Michael, but they are highly visible and not dangerous, well...maybe to your float, if it's a cheap one. But my sister in law, her husband and their kids, my husband and myself went down the length of the creek and we would definitely do it again!! They have launch points and you can rent kayaks and floats as well if you don't have your own!! The springs are gorgeous and so cold!! Williford has a large cave like spring and Pitts has a small hole in the ground. Pitts has more small fish than Williford as well, I'm guessing because of the difference in the amount of water flow. The creek is still chilly, ...
