Meriwether White Springs, Pine Mountain, GA, 31822

## Overview Meriwether White Springs is a historic natural spring nestled in Pine Mountain, Georgia, in Meriwether County. The spring water has been flowing for centuries and holds deep historical significance — it was reportedly used by Native Americans long before European settlement, and later by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who frequented the Pine Mountain area for the therapeutic warm waters of nearby Warm Springs. Local citizens and visitors alike have long testified to the healing properties of the water at Meriwether White Springs, making it a cherished community resource. The site is home to not just one but three distinct springs, each with its own character. The main White Spring offers clear, flowing water that visitors have historically prized as drinking water. A second spring, known as the Chalybeate Spring, is highly iron-rich — chalybeate springs were widely sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries for their purported health benefits, and this one remains a popular spot for soaking your feet in the mineral-laden water. The third spring is known for its distinctive mineral mud, which has become a trademark feature of the site. ## Directions 1.
