There were two small pools with slight overflow along the creek bank a few yards north of the bathhouse and an iron-stained seepage area extended about 10 yards (9.1 m) along the creek edge. Beyond this area there was a small board-curbed pool which discharged about 2 US gallons (7.6 L; 1.7 imp gal) a minute of water at 73 °F (23 °C) in temperature. Gas bubbles up through the water of the creek at several places.

South of the springs, along the road westward from the hotel, a deposit of lime carbonate several feet thick was exposed for 50 yards (46 m) or more. The springs issue mainly from crushed sandstone and shale. They are considered to be thermal carbonated springs, but are mainly known for their carbonated waters.
