Spring Description
The spring forms a 60-foot diameter pool in an area of lush secondary vegetation.  The pool is about 10 feet deep, and the water was fairly clear on date of visit in May 2002.  Springflow was a trickle due to the stopping up of the spring with manmade debris such as building materials and sealant.  The spring's tradition run is about a half-mile in length, and it joined the spring pool of Cypress Spring.  However, a berm built around Cypress spring diverts the spring flow to the far side of Cypress Spring and through a pipe into the Cypress run below the spring.
