Spring Description
The spring forms a large oval pool that is about 300 feet long and
20-80 feet wide. Water in the pool is about 6 feet deep on average
and is a milky blue and fairly clear. Several sand boils are visible
in the pool; the largest are several feet across. Fish were observed
in the pool on date of visit in May 2002, and the bottom was partly covered
in vegetation. The bank rises steeply perhaps 45 feet above the pool
on the east side. There is wooded peninsula on the west side of the
pool, which is a floodplain for Holmes Creek to the west. The pool
terminates in a run that is about 300 feet long. At the mouth of
the run, the water is only a few inches deep and the run is about 8 feet
wide.
There appears to be a small spring pool adjacent to the mouth of the run behind a mound of sand and vegetation. The pool is circular and was about 10 feet in diameter on date of visit. The authors did not make a close observation of this probable spring pool.
