Juniper Springs Rec. Area – 2/26 – 27

This park is one of the oldest constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. (CCC) in the 1930s. The spring is contained in a pool area pumping 13 million gallons/day with a water wheel generating electricity. Rain came in the day we arrived but we had a chance to hike out into the Juniper Prairie Wilderness. Birding was very good around the ranger station in the early mornings.
