Though not intermittent during the winter, spring, and the early summer months, the spring puts on a good show starting in late summer through to the fall when groundwater table s are lower. The fluctuation in the flow of water is caused by the siphon ing effect of an underground cave that fills with water. When the cave surpasses its fill, and is ready to erupt, the spring emits a deep gurgling noise and it gets expelled out the crevices that feed it out into the opening of the mountain and a rising puddle quickly becomes a vigorous roaring stream creek .
