The Geyser Island Spouter is one of the best known and memorable features in Saratoga Springs State Park. This spouter (which is caused by natural carbonation in the water) is in the middle of Geyser Creek on a small island created by mineral build up. Although it is a little difficult to see, the tufa that the water shoots from is a deep rusty red due to the iron in the water. The spouter first appeared in the early 20th century and spurts water at a constant rate, making for a memorable sight! You cannot go to the island itself, but there is a great, wheelchair-accessible viewing platform where you can get excellent photographs of it.
