About this Spring
A small, secluded spring (sometimes labeled "Jonathon Spring" on maps) tucked in a quiet alcove a few minutes upstream from Rum Island, known for its striking cerulean-blue water and calmer, less-crowded feel, only reachable by paddling in. From above the spring head and short spring run resemble a mermaid’s tail
