About this swimming hole

A county park built around a huge, mirror-still spring pool ringed by cypress knees, Morrison is the Panhandle's prettiest free swim. A boardwalk and diving dock ring the 250-foot basin, and the spring run drifts to the Choctawhatchee River. It closes occasionally after heavy rain when the river backs up into the spring.
