Although this spring is just south of Bella Vista, the houses here have a Bentonville address. The road, Ford Spring Road, was laid extremely close to the spring, such that the spring flows out directly from the north side of the road. There is a huge deserted concrete building next to the spring. Perhaps it was a pump house or something. I hiked around this edifice to get the main photo of the spring. (You don't have to do that.)
It had rained the day before I visited it, but there was no spring melt to speak of by this date. Still, it was flowing at about a magnitude 6 or 5.
