arch spring

During the spring thaw the water gushes from the arch and has covered the bridge below it. During this time the spring gathers water inside a land bowl when the amount of water entering exceeds what is allowed to pass through the narrow opening of the arch. As the bowl fills the pressure of the water exiting increases as well creating the gusher of water. Outside of this time you can walk up to the top of the bowl and descend into the grotto to see how the water enters from underground, thought to be introduced into the Tytoona Cave which is about 1 mile away. I would not recommend this for small children, due to the steep terrain, There is also a covered bridge nearby.
