Understand the old Kinchafoonee Blue Hole directions, why a matching map point is not public permission, and how county river resources differ from bathing access.
Swimming permission unconfirmed
No current Blue Hole swimming permission established. A creek mile-marker resource or boat launch does not authorize bathing at this pool. Do not use an unverified rope swing, jump or dive.

Kinchafoonee Blue Hole: a historical location, not confirmed public access
The original directions near Albany openly say the final Century Road approach is uncertain. A saved Blue hole place point near Leesburg lies close to the archive's approximate coordinates. That is useful identity evidence, but it does not verify a public road, a parking area or permission to cross the bank.
Do not follow an unnamed road on speculation
The old dirt-road turn, 1.2-mile drive and short spur remain in the archive for transparency. They are not a current itinerary. Before travelling, establish who controls the intended approach and ask about lawful entry, parking and swimming. Do not use a residential street address from a map listing as an invitation onto property.
Separate pool identity from swimming conditions
A matching location does not verify the earlier rope-swing, free-entry or no-facilities claims. No current water-quality result, reliable depth or approved bathing entry was established. We are not declaring the place closed; the present access question remains unanswered.
Use named county river resources for a different plan
Read the correct access information
Lee County's attractions page provides Kinchafoonee Creek mile-marker resources and separately describes Sutton's Landing on US Highway 19 North, with a boat ramp, canoe/kayak steps and parking. Those named resources can help organize a river outing, but their services and public access do not transfer to Blue Hole.
Do not confuse two Blue Holes
The same county page describes a Blue Hole exhibit at the Flint RiverQuarium. That is an aquarium attraction, not this creek swimming pool. Check the destination name carefully when researching tickets, facilities or images.
Getting There
Do not use the archived Century Road dirt-road and spur instructions as current navigation. The old approximate Blue Hole point is close to the saved Leesburg place point, but neither establishes a public road, parking lot or water entry. Use Lee County's river resources for named access planning and obtain destination-specific permission.
Quick Navigation
Access Notes
The archive expressly calls its dirt-road directions uncertain. A saved Blue hole point near those coordinates supports location context only; its street address is not an invitation to enter.
Plan Your Visit
Parking & Access
Confirm the entrance, parking arrangements, and legal access with the land manager. A map pin does not establish a public right of access. Follow posted routes and never block gates or driveways.
Regulations & Fees
No current Blue Hole swimming permission established. A creek mile-marker resource or boat launch does not authorize bathing at this pool. Do not use an unverified rope swing, jump or dive. Public park access does not necessarily include permission to swim. Respect private property and posted restrictions.
Seasonality & Flow
Water conditions can change quickly. This listing does not provide a current safety or water-quality assessment. Check official alerts and avoid entering water when conditions or permission are uncertain.
Nearby Facilities
Nearby places from saved public map data, not necessarily facilities at the swimming spot. Confirm access, hours, fees, and amenities with the operator before you drive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blue Hole - Kinchafoonee
Does the saved map match confirm the old location?
Its point lies close to the archive's approximate Blue Hole coordinates, supporting location context. It does not verify public access.
Can I follow the old Century Road dirt-road directions?
Not as a current route. The archive itself calls the final approach uncertain; identify a lawful entrance first.
Is Blue Hole free to swim?
Current permission and charges are unverified. The earlier no-fee label is not a present admission policy.
Is the rope swing verified?
No. Neither its current existence nor a safe landing area was established. Do not plan to use one.
Do county boat-ramp facilities belong to Blue Hole?
No. Lee County's named launch information applies to those access points, not automatically to this pool.
Is this the RiverQuarium Blue Hole?
No. The county describes that Blue Hole as an aquarium exhibit. This listing preserves a historical Kinchafoonee Creek reference.
