A small, lesser-known spring potentially located just off the river. The spring’s water may be clear but can cloud after rain due to runoff. Best visited in dry seasons (late fall to early spring) for potential clarity. Paddling against the current on this river can be challenging so it probably isn’t the best option for new paddlers. Clarity is likely when gage heights stabilize around 76-78 ft during drier periods, reflecting minimal runoff, though this is an estimate based on regional patterns and the spring’s proximity. We currently have Buzzard listed as a 2nd magnitude spring, as a best guess, until a flow measurement is found.
