May also be called St Helens Well. This is the name for the stone trough which is fed by the spring. If there is a spring, I donâ€™t know its name. The spring is found in Farnhill just outside Keighley on Main Street, right next to the house "Spout House". The lady who lives there was friendly when I visited the spring. She didn't mind me asking her questions and wasn't surprised that I wanted to collect water. Although she claimed she didn't drink it, as she has a tap in her home! She stated that she lived there for years, and had never seen it stop flowing. She claimed that the house has been there since 1610, while the spring was there long before that. She claimed that people used to fill their bottles from the spring on their way past. Although I have only had the chance to consume around 10 litres of water so far, the water is really nice and clean. When I visited it, the water was flowing at a rate that was roily 4.5 Ltrs per hour. It is located just outside another house. Although I donâ€™t know any details about it, I have tried drinking around 5 litres of the water. This one is included in a couple of photos. Shelley Well can be seen to the right and just around the corner.

DIRECTIONS - Natural Spring is just outside Seward, AK. Follow the river to your left, and the SeaLife Center will be at your right. Continue along the waterway, passing the shell fish hatchery. Cross a small bridge to find Lowell Creek Waterfall on your right. Pay attention to road conditions. Rocks could fall from the cliffs on the right side of Lowell Creek Waterfall. You will eventually see the pipe sticking up from the ground a few hundred yards down the road. There is a small pullout area. Accessible all year round, 24-hours a day. This is a great spring. As there isn't much lighting, it would be best to go during daylight hours.

This is a sacred spring that is highly valued by sierra nevada residents, outdoor enthusiasts, and skilled rock climbers on their way to the next climbing spot. It is important to respect it. If you see trash, please pick it up. As you drive towards the yosemite entry from Lee Vining, keep your eyes on your right. You'll eventually see a forest of aspens. The contrast between the forest and the mountain slopes full of pinyon pine and sage will make it very apparent. Just across the HWY, turn right on a dirt track. Drive up the hill approximately 30 yards and pass through an open gate. The spring will be to your left. You have gone too far if your attempt to climb the steep Tioga Pass grade is unsuccessful. If you end up at the yosemite park entrance, you've gone far too far.
