Blue Heart Springs

Blue Heart springs was awesome. We went on a Sunday and there was 10 or so groups there, but it was big enough to have your own little area. Our kids loved it and it was so crazy to see the water go from cloudy to completely clear as soon as you get to Blue Heart springs. We had a great time.

What a beautiful experience 🏞️🛶, great for adults or older kids, work teambuilding events. Or day trips with your bestie!! FYI water is freezing 🥶

This spring is gorgeous well worth the trip. 2.5 hours from where I live. We took off from Banbury Hot springs boat launch. $10 parking fee. We had our own kayaks. Took close to an hour of paddling to go the 1.5 miles to Blue Heart. We hung out for a while then headed back. Plan on 3 to 4 hours from the time you launch at the boat ramp, depending on how long you hang out at the spring. We went on a Saturday, so it was fairly busy. I expected it to be a little more secluded than it was, but it was still worth it.

The Blue Heart Kayak people were phenomenal and helpful to ensure we were safe. The young gentleman working in the rental area was kind and a Saint. Go here to rent and save yourself the extra mile from Banbury to kayak. My family had a lot of fun kayaking, even with the high winds. I did get stuck but was assisted by the gentlemen working in the rental place on his jet ski and would definitely go again when it isn't so windy. I wanted to come here for a year since I learned about it. Now the Blue Heart Springs itself, wasn't all that amazing. It was a sight to see but not one that you could enjoy! I wish there was more of an area to hang out and not just linger in your kayak for. Still grateful for the experience.

Stunning doesn’t even begin to describe blue heart . When you’re here nothing else matters it just captivates you ! We took a jet ski from Babbitt to here and it was the most memorable part of our trip!

Exquisite! And easy kayak or paddle board trip, gentle, scenic, pure water, lovely. Highly recommend. Look for the Sasquatch for the road to the launch/rental-you’ll see! Also need a whistle and life vest-they have them for rent if you need, very reasonable, very nice people.

Gorgeous, Crystal Clear water! We parked at the blue heart Springs private parking lot/rental. It was five dollars per person to launch there. We drove down to Branberry Hot Springs to check out that launch as well. It was also five dollars per person. The paddle from Branberry was about a mile and a half, so we started at blue heart Springs instead because it was a shorter paddle (just under a mile?). I had three kids with me, the youngest was nine. They paddled themselves and it took us roughly an hour to paddle up. Round-trip, with playing in the spring, we were probably on the water for two hours total. It was a Saturday. We launched it about 12 o’clock, and it was so insanely crowded, but still worth it! I was glad that we brought our own paddle boards/kayaks because they were out of rentals by the time we got there. The kids loved the Clear water of the spring, although it was pretty cold. We all wished we had brought goggles so we could’ve swam around a little more. Just as we were leaving, some bigger boats pulled into the cove. It felt way too crowded for big pontoon boats and motorboats, so I was glad we were leaving when they came. All in all, it was a great trip and definitely worth it.

Neat place, but a bit of a tough paddle into the wind. We started up river at some places on the river left, and not the closer of the two places. It was Sunday and this place was just a bit overcrowded. Multiple larger boats and loud music. Essentially a couple of parties going in in the cove. I’m not sure it was really worth the work.
