Tastes like a mineral spring. A local told me the stream used to be stronger but gravel was removed from the other side of the hill which reduced the flow.
Newspaper excerpt from Nov 1982 edition of News-Star World:
“–Norris Springs. The natural springs have been mentioned in almost every history of the state as a water source for Indians and local residents. For unknown centuries, the springs were the center of life for indigenous Indians. As white men entered the area in the mid-1700s, they were quick to realize the importance of the springs. Peck says the road which runs directly beside the springs and Pine Hill was an extension of the El Camino Real during periods of high water.”
