It is not gushing by any means, but there are puddles deep enough to filter from. A previous post mentioned not seeing the spring so I will note where I found it. Head toward big tree, after about .2 miles there is a couple of small switchbacks. On a switchback that you turn right, there will almost immediately be a little trail to the left. The small rock cairn may still be there later. Turn on that little trail, go down about 15 paces, you will see a where some people have walked a couple steps into some small bushes. In there is a small spring slowing so-so, most is going into the ground, but plenty to filter from 2002-08-04 Super Chicken 2002-08-05 Alger TrailCamp Ditto what Matt said...Flowing well. 2002-07-28 Ed 2002-08-05 Dobbs Trailcamp Lots of water....good flow. 2002-07-28 Ed 2002-08-05 Saxton Trailcamp (.2 mi.west) Reliable 2nd hand info - Good flow. 2002-07-27 Ed 2002-08-12 Alger TrailCamp Water flowing great 2002-08-11 Ren N Stimpy 2002-08-12 Dobbs Trailcamp Lots of water in both creeks 2002-08-11 Ren N Stimpy 2002-08-13 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Barely flowing for shallow pools to allow slow filtering. 2002-08-11 John 2002-08-13 Saxton Trailcamp (.2 mi.west) Great flow, more water available 45 min. up trail too 2002-08-10 Kevin 2002-08-15 High Creek Trailcamp Good - creek about 1 foot wide 2002-08-10 Paul Goymerac 2002-08-18 Columbine Dry 2002-08-18 MJ 2002-08-18 Johns Meadow Good 2002-08-18 MJ 2002-08-19 High Creek Trailcamp Decent clear flow for filtering, 1-2 ft wide 2002-08-18 Kris 2002-08-19 High Creek Trailcamp No problems filtering water, but you can't see creek from main trail 2002-08-18 Dave 2002-08-19 Vivian Trailcamp Lots of water in Vivian Creek.

This is where the trail intersects the creek. 2003-05-27 Ed 2003-05-28 Fish Creek Saddle Snow to melt, but best guess is that it'll be gone in 2 weeks. 2003-05-27 Ed 2003-05-28 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) The main source of water, .3 miles down in the main gulley near the trail isn't flowing.

The further down you go, the stronger it becomes. 2003-06-29 Ed 2003-07-01 Fish Creek Water is still flowing at the stream crossing about a mile before camp. Adequate (but low) water crossing the trail about 0.5 miles above camp. 2003-06-29 MarkJ 2003-07-01 Fish Creek Saddle DRY.

Plenty of little pools in the stream at the trail and upstream to filter from. 2003-08-23 Phil R. 2003-08-24 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) flowing nicely no problem pumping here. 2003-08-23 Phil M. 2003-08-24 Trailfork Water low, but there is enough flowing under the pipe to filter and use. 2003-08-24 Kathy 2003-08-28 Saxton Trailcamp (.2 mi.west) All water sources are alive and well. 2003-08-27 stan 2003-09-01 Fish Creek Just as Phil stated for last week...still a good water source. 2003-09-01 Ed 2003-09-01 High Meadow Springs Water flowing nicely 2003-08-30 Alan 2003-09-01 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) Water availability better than it was on Memeorial Day Weekend.

Flozen over at about 8,400' (but you can hear the water trickling below). 2003-11-09 Roamin' Joe 2003-11-10 Fish Creek Saddle Patches of snow for melting available. more accumulating. 2003-11-09 Roamin Joe 2003-11-10 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) Spring just below the camp is flowing very well. Patches of snow for melting available at 9,000'. 2003-11-09 Roamin' Joe 2003-11-28 Fish Creek Saddle no water at all - take plenty and avoid dehydration - cold nights will give you mountain sickness (lack of o2) - keep your blood thin with plenty of water 2003-10-26 the daddy ball 2003-12-05 High Creek Trailcamp Plenty of Water 2003-11-30 John 2003-12-05 Vivian Trailcamp Plenty of water 2003-11-30 John 2003-12-10 Columbine No water, had to melt snow, which was limited. 2003-12-06 Steve T. 2004-04-27 Halfway Trailcamp Flowing Well 2004-04-25 Jason 2004-04-27 High Creek Trailcamp Plenty Water 2004-04-25 Kathy 2004-04-27 Johns Meadow Plenty of water.

Nearest water is roughly 25 minutes down the trail or 20 minutes up the trail from camp. Water supply fair to good. 2004-05-26 Greg MacDonald 2004-05-27 Fish Creek Saddle No running water at the camp itself. Some small snow fields for melting and filtering water still within a very short distance of the camp. 2004-05-26 Greg MacDonald 2004-05-29 Jackstraw The springs were flowing at a volume that was enough to pump for filtering. They will not last through the season. There were patches of snow but those will probably be gone by Memorial weekend. 2004-06-22 Lance P. 2004-05-31 High Meadow Springs Good flow at the half pipe down from the trail camp. This was our first experience with this location, so, I can't give a comparison 2004-05-30 wbtravis5152 2004-05-31 High Meadow Springs Water flowing. Best location is at wooden trough. 2004-05-29 BobM 2004-05-31 Jackstraw Both springs running- enough to easily pump-filter conditions are beautiful. 2004-05-29 Camp Family 2004-05-31 Jackstraw Both springs running- enough to easily pump-filter weather conditions are beautiful. 2004-05-31 Camp Family 2004-05-31 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) The spring is running big time. You'll hear it before you see it. 2004-05-29 wbtravis5152 2004-05-31 Lodgepole Spring As mentioned previously, bone dry! Dry Lake itself is about 6-10" deep, in a circle of about 150-200'. Water is clear for pumping, but it's very easy to kick up the very fine sediment. My guess is that it'll be dry by mid-June. 2004-05-31 Ed 2004-05-31 South Fork Meadows Probably goes without mentioning, but this area is a great place to load up for trips up to Dry Lake or Dollar. 2004-05-31 Ed 2004-06-01 Dollar Lake Patchy snow for melting. very little water in lake, very muddy. 2004-05-22 Mike 2004-06-02 Dobbs Trailcamp Both streams running strong. 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-02 Dollar Lake Dry. May find a patch or two of snow for melting. Don't expect left in a week or so. 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-02 Fish Creek Poor flow at the trail crossing above the camp. Some stagnant pools beginning to form. Still useable, but for how long? 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-02 Fish Creek Saddle Edit on previous report (was thinking mineshaft saddle). There were 2 small patches of snow on S/E hillside at Fish Creek Saddle. Nearest useable supply would be snow at Mineshaft Saddle. 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-02 Fish Creek Saddle Several patches of snow left just above the saddle on the Sky Hi trail. Snow is melting fast. Not a reliable source for much longer 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-02 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) Flowing well. Spring is 10 mins walk past camp towards Big Tree. When you get to short (rock slide) switch back, you will see a small path to your left(north) heading into the grass. Follow and listen. 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-02 Saxton Trailcamp (.2 mi.west) Running good. Also, stream at Plummers Meadows, just before switchbacks is running (useable for filtering). 2004-06-01 SteveM 2004-06-07 Dollar Lake Dry. Very Dry. Snow going fast. 2004-06-05 Anthony 2004-06-08 Columbine Columbine Sprngs dry as a bone. 2004-06-05 Stuart 2004-06-08 Johns Meadow Good water flow at both Forsee Creek just prior to camp, and at small stream just west of camp. 2004-06-05 Stuart 2004-06-12 Halfway Trailcamp Flowing, but only about 1/2 the usual flow for this time of year 2004-05-28 Phydeux 2004-06-12 High Creek Trailcamp Flowing, but low for spring 2004-05-28 Phydeux 2004-06-13 Jackstraw First spring crossing trail is not looking too good. Second spring is flowing fairly well. Ok for filtering. 2004-06-12 Steve Myers 2004-06-13 Johns Meadow "Old Faithful". Both streams flowing strong. 2004-06-12 Steven Myers 2004-06-13 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Water is flowing well above the camp. No flow in any of the smaller creeks that normally flow along trail below camp. 2004-06-12 Steven Myers 2004-06-13 Trailfork There's a trickle at the spring head (located in the bushes at the jct). However, if you walk 1-200 yds below spg, there is decent flow in creekbed. 2004-06-12 Steven Myers 2004-06-20 Big Tree Water everywhere. Streams running great 2004-06-19 Steven Myers 2004-06-20 Fish Creek Running very slow. Go up creek from trail crossing 50ft or more. You will find better flow and pools to filter from. 2004-06-19 StevenM 2004-06-20 Fish Creek Saddle No water, No snow. Nearest water is either at Fish Creek (well below saddle) or below Mineshaft flats. Bring plenty with you 2004-06-19 StevenM 2004-06-20 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) Excellent flow. See previous posts for directions to springs. 2004-06-19 SteveM 2004-06-23 High Meadow Springs flow good at wooden trough, bring container to pump from 2004-06-20 Chris 2004-06-27 Alger TrailCamp Running Strong 2004-06-27 StevM 2004-06-27 Dobbs Trailcamp Both streams running great 2004-06-27 SteveM 2004-06-28 Trailfork It takes almost a minute to fill a water bottle from the pipe if you push down on it. This source will likely be dry in one to two weeks. 2004-06-26 Chris Bruno 2004-07-01 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Flowing OK. Went up from the trail about 20-25 ft. to filter from small pools. 2004-06-28 Phil R 2004-07-03 Columbine Dry as a bone 2004-07-03 Steve Myers 2004-07-04 Johns Meadow Both Sreams still flowing well 2004-07-01 Shane M 2004-07-04 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Water flowing good 2004-07-02 Shane M 2004-07-04 Trailfork Just a drip from the pipe, but if you push down on it you will get a trickle. Filtering out of a pool below the pipe works good. 2004-07-03 Shane M 2004-07-07 Fish Creek At the trail crossing the water flow was practically nil. Could filter from small pools of clear water, but not the best. Did not go upstream as mentioned in the previous report. 2004-07-05 Phil R 2004-07-11 Fish Creek Filtering from pools upstream of trail still OK. 2004-07-10 Mike M 2004-07-11 High Meadow Springs Good flow. Easy to locate. Just walk down to the greenery. 2004-07-10 StevenMyers 2004-07-11 Jackstraw First spring across trail is almost to a standstill. Second has about the same flow as a month ago, decent flow, with small pools at trail crossing for easy pumping. 2004-07-10 StevenMyers 2004-07-11 Trailfork Appears to be same conditions as previous report. Very slow drip at pipe. Pressing down starts a small stream for 30-45 seconds. Also, the stream below the springs is now dry. 2004-07-10 StevenMyers 2004-07-12 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) Flow from the spring is still good. You can hear it from the trail. 2004-07-10 Steve B. 2004-07-25 High Meadow Springs Flow at trough is down to trickle. Took approx 1.5 min to fill 32 oz container. There is another spring running better about 5ft away from the trough. Should last for awhile. 2004-07-24 SteveM 2004-07-25 Jackstraw There are two running spgs that cross trail into camp. The first is almost gone. Pools are located down from trail approx 25ft. 2nd spg running better. Pool at trail crossing and I dug a couple more approx 50ft up creek. 2004-07-25 SteveM 2004-07-25 Trailfork Lots of ground seepage just below pipe. Good pool for filtering. Pipe has almost no drip, however, pushing down on the pipe starts a good steady stream. Not much change from last time. 2004-07-24 SteveM 2004-08-02 Mineshaft Flat (.3 miles down trail) Still flowing stong. 4 seconds to fill a one liter bottle. 2004-07-31 Michael Allen 2004-08-04 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) WATER RUNNING GOOD-SAME AS ABOUT A MONTH AG0-I'D SAY THANK GOD, BUT HE'D GET THE CREDIT FOR IT 2004-08-01 STEVEN M 2004-08-05 Halfway Trailcamp No water 2004-07-25 Larey 2004-08-05 High Creek Trailcamp capacious, copious, plenteous and profuse amounts of water 2004-07-24 Larey 2004-08-05 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Just wanted to add that if you want to go upstream from the trail 20-30 feet to filter, you can take a short, helpful trail located to the right. You avoid walking thru the slippery stream. 2004-08-01 Phil R 2004-08-07 Dollar Lake Dollar Lake has been dry for some time,however, there is seepage along the trail juct north of the split to DL Saddle. Patience, a shovel and good filter will fill your canteen. 2004-08-07 SteveM 2004-08-07 South Fork Meadows Good flow 2004-08-07 SteveM 2004-08-09 Halfway Trailcamp Water is flowing really well. You need to walk up about 30 feet from where the trail crosses the stream. Stay to the left of the stream for the best access. 2004-07-24 Travis 2004-08-09 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Water is still flowing really well. 2004-08-07 Travis 2004-08-18 Fish Creek Good quality water a few feet upstream of the trail crossing. Small flow but plenty for filtering. Didn't check the camp. This was after heavy rain two days ago, so it may not last. 2004-08-15 Edward Reid 2004-08-18 Lodgepole Spring Dry Lake is still dry even after long rain yesterday. Didn't walk up to spring, but walked around the lake, no flow in. 2004-08-14 Edward Reid 2004-08-29 High Meadow Springs Water is still trickling at the trough. 2004-08-29 High Meadow Springs Water is still trickling at trough. Hard to find pool to filter from. However, there is a secondary stream a few feet away that still has deecent flow. 2004-08-28 SteveM 2004-08-29 Jackstraw No more flow at first creek. There is slight ground sepage with a couple of pools remaining to filter from. Second stream still has "minimal" flowing water, suggest you use this one. 2004-08-28 SteveM 2004-08-29 Johns Meadow Both streams are still running strong. 2004-08-28 SteveM 2004-08-29 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Still good flow. Good pools up the spring about 20 ft. 2004-08-28 SteveM 2004-08-29 Trailfork No more drip at pipe, however still has a lot o ground seepage and 2 good pools to filter from. Still can get a 15-20 second flow from the pipe by pushing down on it with your foot. 2004-08-28 SteveM 2004-08-31 Fish Creek Good for filtering at trail crossing before you get to the Fish Creek Camp. The source at trail crossing above Fish Creek Camp was questionable. Directly at trail crossing was mucky, but not usable. Further upstream might be usable stilll, however, I did not venture up to check. 2004-08-29 AstroZomby 2004-09-07 Wildhorse Creek Campsite 2004-09-13 Fish Creek Good for filtering at trail crossing before you get to the Fish Creek Camp. The source at trail crossing above Fish Creek Camp was questionable quality, but certainly usable if desperate...very shallow, but more water than last time I was here a couple weeks ago, probably due to the recent rains. 2004-09-11 AstroZomby 2004-09-16 Johns Meadow As always, plenty of water in both streams. 2004-09-14 No bears 2004-09-18 High Meadow Springs Water at the trough is a trickle. Water under the trough (going in the same pool) is decent. I've dammed it up and done some excavating. There's a good pool to filter from. 2004-09-18 StevenM 2004-09-18 Jackstraw Both springs are trickling. There actually appears to be more water now than 3 wks ago. First spring has pools above and below the trail. The second, the best pool is directly at the trail crossing. There are more upstream. 2004-09-18 StevenM 2004-09-18 Trailfork Amazing, but there's still water. Someone has placed a rock on top of the pipe. This is causing a consistent flow. There are 2 good pools just below the pipe. To find the water, you have to go inside the bushes and locate the pipe. From the outside, everything looks dry. 2004-09-18 StevenM 2004-09-26 Jackstraw First streamlet wet, but no flowing at the trail. Second streamlet low, but flowing and OK for filtering. Suggest using a cup or pot to filter from. 2004-09-25 Phil R 2004-10-02 Dollar Lake Still dry as a bone. Seepage down the trail (previous post)is practically non-existent. Nearest water is either South Fork Meadows or High Meadows Springs 2004-10-02 SteveM 2004-10-02 South Fork Meadows Plenty of Water 2004-10-02 SteveM 2004-10-13 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Still good flow. 2004-10-11 lb 2004-10-17 High Meadow Springs Water still running. No problem filtering from. Snowed this morning as well. 2004-10-16 SteveM 2004-10-17 Jackstraw Both springs are still trickling. Not much change from before. Add 5 inches of snow to the area this morning. 2004-10-16 SteveM 2004-10-17 Trailfork There's still trickling water coming from the pipe as well as 2 pools to filter from. When I left this morning, there was also 8 inches of snow in the area 2004-10-16 SteveM 2004-12-07 South Fork Meadows Good flow. Two of the smaller streams are frozen solid. Kind of neat walking across the ice. 2004-12-05 SteveM 2005-01-25 Alger TrailCamp Excellent Flow plus 2 ft of snow on the ground 2005-01-22 Steven M 2005-04-11 Johns Meadow East stream completely covered by avalanche. Westerly stream has great flow. Also about 3 ft of snow in most areas 2005-04-09 Steven Myers 2005-04-11 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Completely covered by snow. No running water visible, but approx 6ft plus snow depth 2005-04-09 Steven Myers 2005-04-28 South Fork Meadows Access to several streams now available. Also, water available at Dry Lake.-Look for a hole (in the lake)dug in the snow. 2005-04-24 Steven Myers 2005-05-16 Dollar Lake About 6 ft of snow. Dug hole in lake basin. There is no water below snow surface 2005-05-14 Steven Myers 2005-05-16 South Fork Meadows Lots of action at the meadows. Dry Lake has tons of water visible now. Still about 5-6ft of snow at Dry Lake also 2005-05-15 Steven Myers 2005-05-24 Jackstraw Small stream (Round Cienega Creek) flowing under snow. Currently there is only a small, five foot wide hole in the snow...otherwise all under five feet of snow. 2005-05-20 Darin 2005-05-24 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) The entire creek bed that makes up Limber Pine spring is under LOTS of snow (probably ten feet). However, there is a creek running really well just south of Limber Pine Bench campground. 2005-05-19 Darin 2005-05-24 Trailfork Entire area is under at least six feet of snow. We didn't find the springs. No creeks running open in this area. Don't plan on getting water here for a while. 2005-05-20 Darin 2005-05-29 Columbine Strong, flowing creek from snow melt off...almost like a small river. Cascading waterfalls visible about 300 m upstream from the camp. 2005-05-29 Phil R 2005-05-31 Johns Meadow Lots of ice-cold snow runoff in creek on west side of camp. East side creek still covered by very large ice block and avalanche remains. Easier water access on west side of camp. 2005-05-28 Camper Jer 2005-06-03 South Fork Meadows Strong water flow. No snow. 2005-06-02 Karl 2005-07-04 High Meadow Springs Source starts high in the meadow. Flow is strong. 2005-07-03 Max 2005-07-10 Dollar Lake Plenty of water at lake as well as 2 or 3 creeks flowing into lake.

When you see lots of green plants, that's the best spot to filter. 2006-06-30 Ricardo 2006-07-05 Lodgepole Spring Spring is still running (about 200 yards from Dry Lake). Best location for filling up is near the greenery. 2006-07-02 Steve & Haan-Fawn 2006-07-05 South Fork Meadows Lots of water. Beautiful, cool, and refreshing.

There may be another spot in the meadow that is more suitable. 2006-09-14 Hikin' Jim 2006-09-21 Jackstraw Not a lot of water, but enough to use with a water filter. There was also a creek running well about half way up to Jackstraw from the Forsee trail head. There are also some springs marked some distance along the trail below Jackstraw springs. Very minimal water here. You'd really have to work at it to get water here. It was mostly in puddles on the trail.

There is adequate but not abundant water at that spring. if you needed water and were headed to the San Bernardino Peak area, you could get water at the spring, saving about 15 minutes when compared with going all the way to Alger Trail Camp, and the spring is before you lose all that elevation descending from the old Dobb's Flume to Alger Trail Camp. 2006-10-13 Hikin' Jim 2006-10-15 Dobbs Trailcamp Excellent source of water in both branches of the creek (Dobbs T.C. is at the confluence of two branches of Falls Creek). 2006-10-13 Hikin' Jim 2006-11-13 High Meadow Springs good flow 2006-11-11 John 2006-11-13 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) good flow 2006-11-11 John 2008-04-24 Vivian Trailcamp water condition very good. lots of flow. clear snow runoffs. 2008-04-11 ryan 2008-04-27 Columbine No water in the creeks, but plenty of snow to melt. 2008-04-27 James 2008-04-27 Johns Meadow Plenty of water flowing in both creeks.

Water also available at the stream crossing above the fish creek camp, though pretty muddy at the trail cross, maybe better upstream.

The day before, it had been flowing at 2 gpm. August 30 was brutally hot, so maybe the flow will restore itself once the plants reduce their transpiration. 2009-08-30 BSA Troop 19 2009-08-31 High Creek Trailcamp Good flow where trail crosses creek. Flow estimated at 4 gpm, ample to filter and fill bottles. Suggest going upstream ~150' from trail crossing. 2009-08-29 BSA Troop 19 2009-08-31 High Creek Trailcamp Good flow where trail crosses creek. Flow estimated at 4 gpm, ample to filter and fill bottles.

Does this thing *ever* dry up? 2009-09-06 Peter L 2009-09-09 Saxton Trailcamp (.2 mi.west) This is for Plummer Meadows, halfway between Saxton and Dollar Lake Saddle - Excellent flow! Gorgeous spring! 2009-09-06 Peter L 2009-09-09 Trailfork Spring is within green bushes below trail where the sign is pointing to Jackstraw. Slow trickle out of pipe, probably half a liter per minute, if that. Several small pools available for filtering with a pump, worked great :) - Btw, the sign for this large campground is missing and I passed it twice. Camp is about 100 yds west of the spring. 2009-09-05 Peter L 2009-09-11 Lodgepole Spring Water is still available, filter not needed to get but highly advised 2009-09-09 Hillbasher 2009-09-25 Halfway Trailcamp water still flowing where trail crosses creek. Not deep but enough to pump.

Actual campsite is on other site of Creek. Hard to find. Choose a site with no tree overhang branches ... to be safe! 2009-09-26 Steven Lai 2009-09-28 Fish Creek The water right above the campsite is flowing well-there's plenty to filter and it doesn't look like it will run dry anytime soon. It's best if you go a few yards up from where the stream hits the trail. This stream is the one about .3 miles on the trail past Fish Creek camp towards Fish Creek Saddle but it's much closer if you walk up the ravine west of the campsite. We were told at the MIll Creek Ranger Station that it might be dry but there was no problem for our family of four coincidentally sharing the camp with 2 boy scout troops...i.e. plenty of water for all! 2009-09-27 KatieD 2009-09-28 Halfway Trailcamp Enough water to filter, especially in pool just upstream from the trail crossing. 2009-09-27 Kurt 2009-09-28 High Creek Trailcamp Creek flowing. 2009-09-26 Kurt 2009-09-28 Vivian Trailcamp Ample water 2009-09-27 Kurt 2009-09-29 South Fork Meadows Several small/good flows still here. 2009-09-28 JB 2009-10-04 Halfway Trailcamp Good water flow 2009-10-04 Jack 2009-10-04 High Creek Trailcamp No water flow 2009-10-04 Jack 2009-10-11 Limber Pine (.3 mi.west) Plenty of water - flowing strong.

You could get water here, but I think I'd filter or chemically treat it. 2010-09-17 Hikin' Jim 2010-09-20 Fish Creek Very low flow...nearly a trickle. But just enough to filter from.
