Welch Spring - *Mile Marker 13.7* ------>(6th largest spring in the state) Also, click HERE and HERE to see a photo of an enterance (CLOSED) to the Welch Spring Cave via water from where Welch Spring flows out from under a cliff. Please don't wade in the spring water. This can affect the spring life habitat. See pictures of the main enterance to Welch Cave on that cave page HERE.
Ebb And Flow Spring - *Mile Marker 52.1* "Some rather small springs, like Ebb
and Flow pictured here on the Current River, vary in flow on a time table unrelated to
rainfall or barometric pressure. This spring was timed for two hours,
and went from low to high flow about every 30 minutes. Each time it
rose, it came to the same level as previously. Scientists are uncertain
what causes the periodicity. Some think it exemplifies a siphon-based
"fill/flush" cycle (similar to flushing a toilet with a bucket of
water). --Jo Schaper"
