About This Spring

Description

All year cold water spring with fresh Watercress growing early to late spring. It’s not a exposed spring but boils into the bottom of a man made basin. Sadly hoodlums have used the access path as a dump but once you pass that and cross a stream you will see it. Enjoy!
