Why hike at Karst Spring ?
A karst spring is a spring that is part of a karst system. That includes the underground drainage of a much larger area, which means that karst springs often have a very large discharge. Because of their often conical or bowl shape, such water sources are also known in German-speaking lands as a Topf ("pot") which is reflected in names such as Aachtopf (the source of the Radolfzeller Aach) or Blautopf (the source of the Blau river in Blaubeuren). Karst springs are usually the end of a cave system at the place where a river cave reaches the Earth's surface. Thus, it is often possible to enter the caves at a karst spring and explore them.The karst spring is a natural wonder located in Alberta, Canada. This spring is known for its incredibly clear water which flows from the ground at a rate of over 100 gallons per minute. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom even in the deepest parts of the pool. The temperature of the water remains a consistent 68 degrees year-round, making it a popular spot for swimming and diving.
The karst spring is a beautiful sight to behold. The pool is surrounded by lush green trees and plants, and the clear water creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy swimming, diving, and relaxing in the refreshing waters of the spring. There is also a small picnic area where visitors can enjoy a meal or snack while taking in the natural beauty of the spring.
The karst spring is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Alberta. With its clear water and tranquil setting, it is sure to provide visitors with a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
