 Confluence Of Mossy Spring And Glade  Seepage Spring On Mossy Spring Run |
Mossy Spring Run is an extremely lush and and apparently healthy tributary to Glade Run. It is a short stream which originates at several large springs a few hundred yards up the mountain. Skullpin fish are evident skittering along its sandy and rock strewn bottom. Occasionally, the stream disappears under the rocks or tree falls, but due to the large gradient of this stream, you can always locate it by the sound of its falling water. There is a fairly tall water fall along Mossy Spring Run. Below the falls, the stream runs roughly parallel to Glade Run on a broad ledge about three feet above the level of the Glade Run streambed. As a result of this, the streams water is protected from encroachment by the waters of Glade Run. Although Mossy Spring Run injects a fairly large amount of water, it is very shallow. It seldom exceeds an inch or two of depth. |
