It’s hard to get to do things you want to do when you have a couple of kiddos to take care of. One of my favorite pastimes was to head out and explore Land Between The Lakes with my wife. Then when our children arrived, those opportunities became far and few between. But I love my kids and wouldn’t trade them for anything.
My family and I planned a day trip to Stewart County to check out some places including a location known as “Mint Springs” in extreme southwestern Land Between The Lakes. My late grandfather took me there once when I was a kid. Back then I went swimming in Lost Creek while he gathered up some water from the spring. He called this place “Mint Springs” but I really don’t know if that is the actual name of the place or just the name he gave it. There is a location near this area called Mint Springs Hollow but it isn’t near the spring.
