Dragon's Mouth Spring

Nature
5
Around 1912, an unknown park visitor gave this feature its name, perhaps because water frequently surged from the cave like the lashing of a dragon's tongue. Until 1994, this dramatic wave-like action often splashed water as far as the boardwalk. The rumbling sounds come from steam and other gasses exploding through the water and causing it to crash against the walls of the hidden caverns.
