Flaming Geyser Park might well be one of the wonders of the Northwest. Many persons who have seen the phenomena do not understand the cause. It has been explained that gases constantly forming in the saltwater spring cause eruptions at almost clocklike intervals. When the pressure starts to increase, the gas is ignited with the resultant flame that shoots upward of fifty feet.
The salt water is diverted into a large outdoor swimming pool in the summer, affording excellent bathing. Beautifully terraced fountains and falls, with colored lights, add to the spectacle. The fully equipped picnic park includes community kitchens and children’s playfields.
