Pajahuello Spring

The Pajahuello Spring installation was completed, by members of the 'Coe Park Spring Maintenance Team', on July 12, 1998. Lumber and trough were carried in .5 miles from the nearest road, and the prefabricated Spring Box was reassembled on site. Five hours later construction was complete and water was flowing into the trough.

The original Pajahuello Spring site was recently rediscovered by a park volunteer, Everett Allen, who was constructing a new trail through the area. Remnants of the original installation are still visible.

The term Pajahuello refers to a legendary 'deadly' tick which supposedly once inhabited this area.

On 5-15 a second spring box was added in a shallow ravine a short distance to the East of the existing spring box to supplement the water flow into the trough.
