This trail is located on the Enoree Ranger District. The spring was used to provide water for a nearby plantation, called Orange Hall, in the 1800s. Nothing but scattered bricks of the house remains today. The name of the spring is derived from its shape–that of a Jew’s harp. It was carved from a solid piece of granite by J. E. Sherman in the 1860s. Water from the ground comes into a hole in the center of the circular section. It then drains through a groove that runs from the bowl down towards the creek. The water, which fl ows at the rate of 3½ gallons per minute, never overfl ows the sides but keeps the bowl fi lled at all times. The 6-inch deep bowl is sheltered by another granite slab and is surrounded on three sides by other stones.
