Morrison Springs is Dead

[huntster70]

Yeah, some clown messed with that sign and if you look through the trees you can see the floating dock that is where the diving area is located on the other side of the springs.

We are being kept out of the boating area, sounds like a safe thing to do. Probably why the ramp was moved down stream a little... but what will keep them out of OUR area of the spring...so we are kept safe? A floating barrier.... A sign or something?

Probably why the ramp was moved down stream a little...

actually, that access point has been there for quite some time.

you just needed 4 wheel drive to get to it...

Yeah, we've swam past that boat launch on several occasions long before it had concrete and long before Morrison transformed into Chucky Cheese

Tell that to my dive buddy's front wheel drive Ford Taurus... With two sets of dive gear to boot

c'mon, you saw the photos I took.

Sure, it's cleaner, and you can get to it without the bark of trees removing the paint from your vehicle, but there are some neat looking trails that used to lead to it, that branch off from the modernized road...

Emailed my state legislator. They said that some construction remains and water testing. Park cant open till state OKs. Samples were sent 3 months ago. They're going to follow up with DEP and see whats what.

I am bringing a boat to springfest,Dave come down and I will guide you around.

Follow up from legislator. Water tests have been completed. They failed. Drinking water is unsafe. THey are looking at opening the park Feb 1 without drinking water. Crossing fingers.

I went in ther ea few weeks ago, when there were crews present, they did not run me off. JUst told me to be carefull.

I went down a couple of days ago, water way to high, five trucks of workers, decided not to go in there.

Always launched from the new ramp or the one 2 miles downstream. Morrison was always too busy with people or the water was low. I wouldhave to back in until the water was above the doors and then climb out the rear window, so not to flood the truck.

I will b e going down in an hours or so. I will launch the boat and check out the area, and do a little fishing

The fishing never was any good in the head spring. the water was too clear. SOme reason it is very tough to catch fish in clear water.
