Very pretty river. Thanx Is this stream mostly spring fed? From the
look of the banks etc, it looks like the flows are relatively uniform.

Not really, although due to lack of rain most of the water in the
River back then *was* from springs. With normal rainfall it usually
runs at about twice the CFS. The lack of rain also meant the water was
unusually clear. In a more typical year the water is about the tint of
strong tea, due to tannin from the surrounding swamps and feeder
streams.

OTOH, the River is not as 'flashy' as some other area streams. This
would indicate, I suppose, a fairly healthy watershed.
