VIsiting This Underrated Spring Will Level Up Your Summer In Georgia

If you’re looking for a little bit of summer fun in Georgia, one that’ll keep you active but also refreshed throughout the warmer days, then we have the perfect place. What is considered a water sports park, is actually so much cooler than just that. With fresh spring water keeping the lake as cool and clean as possible, plus a bevy of water sports to enjoy with the whole family, take a break this summer and spend some time at Kraken Springs. Your summer in Georgia just leveled up.

As the only recreational open water diving and non-motorized water sports park in the entire state of Georgia, this is one underrated experience you probably didn’t even know was available.

While many visitors to Kraken Springs go for the first-class scuba diving, there are plenty of other reasons to visit.

You don’t have to be a scuba diving fanatic to enjoy Kraken Springs—there are paddle boards, kayaks, and even camping opportunities to get a taste of the outdoors.

Kraken Springs consists of a 20-acre spring fed lake, which is as gloriously refreshing during the summer months as you would expect.

For those who do come for the scuba diving, however, make sure that you provide proof of diving certification (C-Card) in order to dive the springs.

Also, keep an eye out for the "Kraken" which is sent throughout the springs at random, allowing divers to earn a prize upon finding it.

Over the past 20 years, Kraken Springs has had many names—White Stone Diving and Dive Haven, to name a few.

But since 2013, this underrated spring has been bringing in guests to enjoy the beauty of Georgia nature solely under the name Kraken Springs.

Reserve your spot today to dive the springs with your friends, or simply enjoy a paddle board around the spring, soaking up the summer sunshine.
