Spring Description
The spring is in a small, primitive park. The spring
and run form the shape of a golf club (driver) of about 350 feet in length
before the run goes through three concrete pipes under the roadway and
thence into Pimple Creek, Spring Creek, and ultimately the Fenholloway
River on the SW side of Perry. The spring pool is about 35 feet across,
and the water was dark but fairly clear on the date of visit (October 2000).
There was no boil, and little evidence of flow.
The fringes of the pool were covered with duckweed and algae (on a subsequent visit in Feb. 2001, the entire pool was covered in duckweed). There are several large limestone boulders at the edge of the spring pool. The run widens just past the pool to perhaps 50 feet, and then gradually narrows to about 18 feet as it passes under the road.
