REMARKS: The spring was presented to Bellefonte Borough in October 1879 by Mayor William F. Reynolds. The median flow is 8000 gallons per minute from limestones and dolomites of the Axemann and Bellefonte Formations (Ordovician age). It is the ninth largest spring in Pennsylvania and is presently used as a public and industrial water supply.

REMARKS: The tenth largest of the second-magnitude springs (median flow, 5000 to 20,000 gallons per minute) in Pennsylvania, having a median flow of 7000 gallons per minute. This spring, rising from fractures in limestone (Beekmantown Group, Ordovician age), is used as an industrial water source.

REMARKS: A magnificent view of Penns Valley and the Seven Mountains area to the south.
REMARKS: Penns Creek has cut a deep, twisting (meandering) channel through a series of high ridges and valleys. This is probably the most scenic and lengthy series of water gaps in the Valley and Ridge province. Penns View along Poe Paddy Drive is recognized as one of the finest scenic overlooks in the United States. Outcrops of redconglomerate of the Bald Eagle Formation (Ordovician age) are exposed on the rim of the overlook. Ingleby (252) and Ravens Knob (253) overlooks are located nearby.

REMARKS: The eleventh largest of the second-magnitude springs (median flow, 5000 to 20,000 gallons per minute) in Pennsylvania, having a medium flow of 6000 gallons per minute. The spring rises from the fractures in the Nealmont Limestone (Ordivician age).

REMARKS: An outcrop of flat-lying beds of conglomerate (Burgoon Sandstone, Mississippian age) has weathered in the shape of a sleeping turtle. Nearby, Hunter Rocks (38) is the site of an old "sandstone quarry"; cliffs and outcrops of conglomerate still are numerous.
REMARKS: Large outcrops of greenish calcareous sandstone of the Mauch Chunk Formation (Mississippian age) on a bend of Horse Hollow Road. The calcareous sandstone in the Mauch Chunk marks the horizon of the Loyalhanna Member of the formation.
