The spring contributes to the creek’s increasingly clear base flow in the lower Holmes corridor. The springs inventory notes that Holmes Creek gains water from several springs downstream of Burnt Out Spring, including this one, which helps transition the creek from dark, tannic drainage to more mineralized, clearer flow. The exact vent dimensions and depth aren’t broadly published, and the spring lies within floodplain/creek bank lands, with public waterway access via kayaking or paddling, though adjacent land is privately held. Jet Skis are prohibited on Holmes Creek in Washington County. Ord 97-12 Expect clarity below 14 feet and improving with lower water heights.
