Spring and fall
Mild shoulder seasons offer the best footing and steadiest flow. Spring runoff can make surrounding ground muddy; late summer flow may drop.
Easy access
Usually a roadside pullout or a short, gentle path — often under a mile with little elevation change. Good for casual visits and most fitness levels.
General guidance based on feature type and difficulty — always verify current conditions.
Natural areas are hazardous and conditions change fast. Verify access and current conditions before you go, respect private property and closures, and leave no trace. You are responsible for your own safety.
Untreated spring water may be unsafe to drink. Terrain around sources can be muddy and unstable.
