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, 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.
