About Cypress Spring
Cypress Spring is a boat-access freshwater spring in Vernon, reached through Holmes Creek rather than by a roadside walk-in. The basin is clear and circular, with a limestone bottom, a strong spring boil, and a small cavern opening that keeps the site interesting for snorkelers and divers. It is a planned outing rather than a casual stop, but the water stays cool and clear year-round and the access operators make the trip straightforward.
