Location Edit
Parramore Springs is located 2.25 miles (3.6 km) east of Three Crossing.[2] It is at an elevation of 2,146 feet (654 m).[1]
Spring Edit
According to Gerald Ashley Waring, who visited the area around 1910,
Paramore Spring is situated on a branch of Rices Fork of Eel River, about 4 miles in a direct line northwest of Crabtree Springs. The spring is in a deep, brushy ravine and is not easily accessible, but the place has been visited occasionally by campers. It yields cool, strongly carbonated water, but it issues at the creek edge and is hence available only during periods of low water.[3]
