Soto Spring Survey - 10-23-2020 - by Anonymous SurveyorLink: Soto Spring Date: 10-23-2020 Surveyor Name: Anonymous Surveyor Camp Description: This spring trickles into a water tank that can be opened, providing access to water inside. It then flows into a wildlife trough. Good water source. Water Source: Trickle Water Source Details: Seemed to be of good quality, but we filtered it nonetheless. There is a lot of aquatic plant life growing inside the tank, but the water was acceptable to drink (filtered).

Link: Soto Spring Date: 04-30-2017 Surveyor Name: Matt Inman-Ojai Valley School Camp Description: Just east of this location a private land owner or squatter has gated off the forest service road three times in approx. 100 yards. There are no trespassing signs everywhere, motion activated game cameras aimed at the road, halloween decorations in the bushes such as skulls and skeletons, a sign that says trespassers will be considered armed and dangerous, and a shooting range with human targets. Forest service administration needs to deal with this situation before someone get hurt.Water Source: Trickle Water Source Details: Nicely flowing spring piped into a wildlife watering station. Water is still accessible to hikers. Weather Conditions: - Soto Spring Survey - 01-29-2016 - by M. Jones
Link: Soto Spring Date: 01-29-2016 Surveyor Name: M. Jones Camp Description: Soto Spring currently has water. The spring has a full water trough and is a protected wild life guzzler. Water flowing from Soto spring feeds into Branch Creek which had flow downstream for at least 2 miles.
The USFS web site states that over 100 guzzlers have been installed on the forest to help enhance the populations of the valley or California quail since they receive the most hunting pressure of any upland species on the forest.
