Spring Description
The spring is in a residential area and is at the head of a run of about 100 yards. The spring forms a circular pool about 75 feet in diameter and 10-12 feet deep. Water in the pool is clear but fairly dark. There is a strong boil in the NW corner of the pool. The pool and run are filled with exotic vegetation as well as duckweed. Algae is present in the pool and run. The run is about 40 feet wide and 1-3 feet deep and has a strong current. There are low banks and some trees along the run and around the spring pool.

Use/Access

• Land around the pool is private property, so access is only by canoe. There are one house on the east side of the pool and run, and 6-7 houses above the run on the west side.
• The pool is used for swimming and diving. There is a rope swing and a sky-ride rigged to drop into the pool.
• There is a public boat ramp just below the mouth of the run.
