The main cave extends for nearly half a mile underground. The spring flows approximately 5-11 million gallons of water per day, and is extremely variable in its output. Much of the water comes from the Galloway-Southern Hills area of Springfield.
In the1960's and 1970s, Springfield grew rapidly toward the south and east. The village of Galloway became part of Springfield, and many new houses were constructed on the ridge east of the park. By the mid-1970's Sequiota Spring was beginning to show the stresses of being in an urban area. It is reputed that waste from septic systems flowed from the spring.
