A historical private retreat, not confirmed public swimming
Jay Bird Springs near Chauncey was advertised as a private camp and retreat with a constructed pool and slide. The surviving brochure is dated historical material, not confirmation of public admission or operating facilities in October 2026.
Do not arrive assuming the pool is open
The archive describes a fee-charging private park. Current operator authorization, public swimming dates and admission terms remain unverified. A map listing or old resort advertisement cannot establish that a visitor may enter today. Arrange direct owner confirmation before traveling; do not enter a closed gate or private grounds.
Separate retreat accommodation from day admission
The ministry brochure advertised rooms, cabins, RV spaces and group camping. Those past offerings do not establish a current lodging inventory, reservation service or included pool use. Confirm the specific booking and activity you want instead of treating accommodation as a day-swimming ticket.
Keep the old slide claims in the archive
The brochure's large water-slide and swimming-pool descriptions are historical. No current inspection, staffing, depth or water-quality result is established. Choose an operating managed swimming facility if current access cannot be confirmed.
