Lifsey Spring
Lifsey Spring delivers 79°F water, 15 degrees above ambient, making it one of Georgia's more noticeably warm thermal springs in Pike County near Zebulon.
Located just 80 feet from Lifsey Springs Road at 770 feet elevation, the spring generates visible warmth that immediately registers on skin. Water flows clear and steady into small pools framed by native trees and managed vegetation typical of Georgia's Piedmont landscape.
The spring emerges in the Piedmont province where subsurface circulation through fractures in crystalline basement rock accounts for the thermal anomaly. Named for its location near the historic Lifsey homestead, the spring has drawn local visitors for generations.
Access the spring directly from Lifsey Springs Road with minimal walking required. Water stays warm year-round at 79°F. This area receives 47.5 inches of annual rainfall, supporting year-round flow. No facilities; bring water and supplies.
