[[File:McConnell Springs, Blue Hole spring.jpg|thumb|The Blue Hole.]] '''The Blue Hole''' represents the initial of two significant springs situated within [[McConnell Springs]]. Its source can be traced back to a broad region in the southwest of [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]], where the waters travel underground through the limestone bedrock. The distinct blueness of this water is a result of prismatic effects generated by its exceptional depth of 15 feet. This exposed water body was formed when water discharged from a crevice in the bedrock with enough force to remove the topsoil and sediment. As a result, it currently forms a cone-shaped basin that remains filled by the springs underneath. ==References== * [https://www.lexingtonky.gov/mcconnell-springs-park McConnell Springs Park.
