Soda Springs

In this area, a group of springs became famous to Oregon Trail travelers, most of whom stopped to sample the waters' acid taste and effervescing gases. Earlier, fur traders often called the place Beer Springs after one spring whose water tasted like lager beer, only flat. Another, Steamboat Spring, made sounds exactly resembling a high-pressure steam engine. Both of those springs are now drowned in the modern reservoir, but others still can be tasted.
