Parkman Spring
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
A mile from Manchester in Meriwether County, Parkman Spring runs warm, a good way under body heat, cooler than a bath. Margaret Lane is the closest road, a couple hundred yards away. Nobody is named as owner. No access status has been logged. What the record does hold is a temperature and a USGS site number.
Piedmont elevation, a bit over eight hundred feet, mild year round by average, wet by rainfall, with snow a rarity. The walk in is short. Manchester is close by. Land unit and campground are both missing from the record, and Margaret Lane is the only place name the record ties it to besides the town.
Best months by our ranking fall in winter. Nothing is listed for camping and nothing for fees. Water in the seventies is comfortable in winter air and nothing special in summer heat. Confirm access before you go, since the record is silent on it.

Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
