Caption: Old Rocky Springs Marker
Additional Description: Springs were important to early travelers, providing relief from the dust and heat of the trail. Settlement was often determined by the location of dependable springs. A good spring saved the expense and hard work of digging a producing well. Rocky Spring got its name because it flowed from under a rock ledge. The name evolved to Rocky Springs and was adopted by the community which grew up nearby. The spring no longer flows., but the site may be reached by taking a 15 minute walk down the trail to your right.
