The spring is around 370 feet (110 m) in diameter and is 160 feet (50 m) deep. It discharges an estimated 560 US gallons (2,100 liters) of 160 °F (70 °C) water per minute.

The vivid colors in the spring are the result of microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The mats produce colors ranging from green to red; the amount of color in the microbial mats depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids and on the temperature gradient in the runoff.
