Carolyn and I hiked from the Fish Hatchery towards the gushing spring but we were on the wrong side of the river to see the spring. The trail on that side goes up before the spring, We followed for awhile, but it turned in to a road so after 2.5 miles total we turned around. We could not hike the other direction because there was a freshly downed tree blocking the path and the rangers advised us not to cross. We were able to walk up close enough to see the spring and it was gushing.
Beautiful river - so many colors in the water. The flowers on the islands may be about 2 weeks from blooming.
5 ish miles.
