Man, I know I've heard of this spring but can't think of where it is...reminds me of Indigo springs up your namesake river.

It's very close to Indigo Springs. You head on up Willamette NF Road 21 maybe another mile or so, then turn right onto a gravel spur about .3 miles long. The trailhead is right before the end of the road, and Chuckle Springs is a quarter mile downhill toward the river. This whole area is peppered with springs. Using the Middle Fork trailhead right across the road from Indigo Springs, walking downstream a short distance is Wall Springs, flowing from the base of the basalt columns cliff next to the trail. On the way are little springs, big enough to wonder, "Is this Wall Springs?" Don't be fooled, it's a gusher.

Chuckle Springs is a great place, I love it there, and the river is very wild and tumbly through this section.
