A concrete wall forms the east end of the pool and serves to separate the spring and river. Limestone crops out all around the pool and is covered in many places with green algae. The water is clear and the sandy bottom easily seen. In November l973 there was a strong boil over the vent at the west end of the pool. Flood flows of the Withlacoochee and Suwannee Rivers inundate Suwanacoochee Spring.
Discharge measurements are difficult to make owing to high water velocities and uneven bottom.
No apparent use. Approximately 100 ft SW. is an old swimming pool that might have been fed by the flow from Suwanacoochee Spring. Analyses by U.S. Geological Survey. Units are in milligrams per liter unless otherwise indicated.
