Orifice is in dark area in center just above grass clump.
Messant Spring has also been known as Messinger Spring. Vegetation is thinned and forest debris is cleaned from around the pool and spring run to improve access, yet a natural undeveloped appearance is retained. Spring discharge issues from a single inverted conical vent about 15 ft in diameter at its top, tapering to about 4 ft at its bottom. A rock ledge extends out at a depth of 20 to 25 ft on the north side of the hole. A horizontal cavern opens under the ledge.
