                The beautiful circular spring seen in the photo background maintains a year around temperature of 54 degrees, and has a maximum flow of 38,000,000 gallons of water every 24 hours.
                  The depth of the spring is 510 feet and it is believed that part of the springs water comes from underground flow originating in the Pacific Northwest!

                The spring is also the home of many happy rainbow trout! It is well worthy of your time to visit this isolated and lovely garden setting.
