Tamolitch Pool

"Tamolitch Pool is where the McKenzie River emerges from the basalt covered terrain. Due to the porous nature of the basaltic lava in the area, water has a difficult time staying on top of the ground, especially in low water flow seasons. From just below Carmen Resevoir the entire McKenzie River suddenly vanishes. It flows underground for roughly 3.5 miles before silently bubbling back up at the place known as Tamolitch pool."
