Watershed Facts
Unique Feature
Aquatic plants common to limestone spring streams such as watercress and water-starwort provide cover for trout. The downstream portion of the stream from a spring source near the Silver Spring Meeting House downstream to its mouth (approximately 0.9 miles) supports a naturally reproducing population of rainbow trout, uncommon in Pennsylvania. A low-head dam was removed from this stream reach during 2006 to allow for greater fish passage and other environmental benefits.
Drinking Water Info
There is no drinking water drawn from Trindle Spring Run.
