Spring Description
This small spring is set in a grotto about 40 feet from the river. Water flows from a small cavity at the bottom of a narrow glen and is 2-3 feet deep at the vent. Banks rise up around the spring and run, which empties into the river. The creek is 3-6 feet wide. In times of high water, the spring would be inundated and probably not visible. Water in the spring was clear and was blue over the vent.

Use/Access

• One may walk either in the spring run or along either side of it to the grotto to observe the spring. One should watch for snakes. The small pool is too small for swimming or even adequate wading.
• The land around the spring is private.
