Taylor Spring, Pike County, Georgia. Five miles from Zebulon, give or take. Water here is warm in the mild sense, seventies, well short of anything you would call a hot spring. The road it is nearest has no name in the record, and the spring is five or six hundred feet from it, a short walk. Both No owner and the access is on record.

Location

Low ground for a spring, seven hundred and fifty feet, in a climate that averages mild and rains close to fifty inches a year. Snow barely registers. There is no land unit attached and no campground listed nearby. The approach is a short one on foot from wherever you leave the car, and that is the extent of what can be said about it.

Winter months rank best. Without an owner or access record you are on your own to find out if a visit is welcome. Nothing on fees. The temperature on file comes from the USGS thermal inventory and the date of measurement is not given.

56 milliwatts per square meter of heat flow

That's close to the US average of 65. It's higher than at 0% of the springs on this site.

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.
