Gentle surface boils are within an area 8 to 10 ft in diameter centered about 30 ft from the west end of the pool. Water depth near the boils is 8 to 10 ft. The east part of the spring basin appears to be appreciably shallower than the west part. Numerous small fish were observed. For a few tens of feet north of the pool edge, the area is grassy and clear of trees, but the upward-sloping land surface farther north is covered with open woods containing palms, pine and hardwood trees.
Dense woods border the pool to the south.
From the central south edge of the spring basin water flows south down a run that is about 30 ft wide. The run continues south about 1.25 mi to discharge into the St. Johns River. Between the springs and the river, water is diverted for the National Fish Hatchery operated by the U.S. Department of Interior. Owned by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Fish Hatchery. The spring water is used in the fish hatching pools.
