I went to try and fill up here the other day but was unable to find the source. Where at this location is the filling source? If anyone knows please pass the word onto me and the others! Thanks you!
I've seen a video on youtube about this spring and I think there isn't one. I believe from the way it looked that it's underwater, water is pouring in from beneath.
We took nature walks here when I was young; especially around Scuppernong. I know there were signs there about the springs but they seemed to bubble up and form the ponds; not accessible above the ground. What fond memories we had there. If we had been able to drink from the springs all the better.
It's hard to believe this is all that is left of the beautiful resort that was once owned by my godmother. I was way too little to remember any details about the resort myself. But I do remember hearing stories about a few gangsters using it as a hideout/meeting place back in the day. Also that a mysterious fire is what destroyed it. I truly wish I could find more info about it so I could share it with my kids and grandkids.At one time my mom had worked at the bottling house and told us kids about having to use a stick to get the snakes off the bridge they had to cross to get to work in the mornings. I wish she was still around to ask her more about it.
