Millers Ferry Spring is a small spring along Holmes Creek, known for its clear, 68-degree water and a modest flow, likely under 5 million gallons per day. Its shallow basin—approximately 5-10 feet deep—offers a quiet spot for kayaking and snorkeling, surrounded by cypress trees and wetlands. Accessible only by boat from Holmes Creek landings (e.g., Culpepper Landing, 1-2 miles downstream), it’s on private land, so respect boundaries. Summer weekends draw paddlers—arrive early for calm. For quiet, visit weekdays in spring (April-May) or fall (September-October), mornings ideal. Jet Skis are prohibited on Holmes Creek in Washington County. Ord 97-12 Water clarity is typically vivid but can cloud with Holmes Creek backflow after rain. Check —stable, low levels below 11.4 feet ensure clarity, clearest from late fall to early spring during dry periods.
