Peaceful springs
Beautiful springs that go on and on and on. Many levels and steps with lots of places to stop and rest. Totally worthwhile. Peaceful.

A must see. A magical like experience
300 steps up and down is a good work out and worth it. Quite magical to see the water bubbling up through the ground. Great views, great sounds. Creates a very pleasant feeling.

Worth the 300 step climb!
Lovely area overlooking AuSable River. Nice boardwalks to view springs and River. Not as much wildlife as we had hoped for.
