About this swimming hole
A designated paddling trail winding through the Panhandle's wild interior, Econfina Creek strings together Pitt, Williford, Gainer, and Emerald springs along one gorgeous run. Paddlers stop to swim each spring's 68-degree basin between limestone bluffs. It's Florida at its most adventurous and least developed.
