Spring Description
The spring lies in the riverbed on the south side of the river and
creates a semicircular alcove. There are high (15 feet) and steep limestone/sand
banks above the river at this spot, and the spring forms a small alcove.
There is a pronounced boil. The water was fairly clear, but the depth could
not be determined except that it was greater than 12 feet. A few feet downstream
of the spring at the top of the bank is an overhanging wooden dock/platform.
There is a cleared area across from the spring, where small boys were playing
on date of visit (January 2001).
