The WTA description is spot on--this area is right next to US 97, and is no more than a pleasant leg-stretcher, when you need a break on a long car trip. We drove from Omak to Seattle, and this was the only part of the ride it wasn't raining, so we stopped.
The springs are large and voluminous. I gather the artesian pressure from nearby Lake Chelan, up the hill to the west, is strong enough to squirt water out of the rocks. The bottom of Lake Chelan is lower than this spot, lower than sea level in fact.
One thing I would add is we saw spawning Chinook salmon in Beebe Creek, both times we crossed it on trail bridges. A nice addition to the trail experience in October!
