Three springs make up the Brunson Landing Springs Group. The first or most downstream spring is an oval seep pool about 30 feet long, 20 feet wide, and a few inches deep. Water in the pool is clear, and the bottom is very muddy. Water flows from the seep pool into the little run separating the island from the land. The second pool is also a seep pool and is circular--about 12 feet in diameter on date of visit in May 2002. Water in the pool was clear and only a few inches deep, a mild brown and muddy sand boil could be seen in the center of the pool. Trickling run from this pool flowed into the first seep pool.
The third spring forms a pool that is about 35 feet across and approximately 20 feet deep. Water in the spring is clear and dark blue. Limestone, fallen tree trunks, limbs, and tree roots are visible in the pool. There is a platform in a tree next to the pool. The spring forms a run that forks to create the island and to join the small flows from the other two springs.
All three springs lie in an area of dense floodplain forest, and mush of the trail was muddy on date of visit in May 2002. The springs are all canopied and have daek material on their bottoms, reducing visibility. In the large spring, however, some sunlight reached the pool creating the deep blue hue.
Spring Description
Three springs make up the Brunson Landing Springs Group. The
first or most downstream spring is an oval seep pool about 30 feet long,
20 feet wide, and a few inches deep. Water in the pool is clear,
and the bottom is very muddy. Water flows from the seep pool into
the little run separating the island from the land. The second pool
is also a seep pool and is circular--about 12 feet in diameter on date
of visit in May 2002. Water in the pool was clear and only a few
inches deep, a mild brown and muddy sand boil could be seen in the center
of the pool. Trickling run from this pool flowed into the first seep
pool.
The third spring forms a pool that is about 35 feet across and approximately 20 feet deep. Water in the spring is clear and dark blue. Limestone, fallen tree trunks, limbs, and tree roots are visible in the pool. There is a platform in a tree next to the pool.
