Regional conditions

This is a general regional estimate from public precipitation, snowpack and drought data — not a direct reading of this exact source.

This is a regional estimate based on hydrologic conditions in North Georgia, not a direct measurement of the spring itself. Although recent scattered thunderstorms have provided some surface moisture, the area is currently recovering from a period of extreme drought that impacted groundwater levels earlier this year. Nearby USGS streamflow gauges on the Toccoa River are currently running well below the seasonal normal, suggesting this spring is likely flowing but potentially at a reduced rate.

Based on: NOAA NWS recent precipitation, US Drought Monitor (Georgia), and USGS National Water Dashboard streamflow data for the Toccoa River basin.
