33 Berlin Springs, Berlin, Wisconsin 54923

## Overview Located along a quiet rural road just north of Auroraville in Waushara County, the Berlin Springs artesian well has long served as a free, public source of naturally cold and refreshing spring water. The well taps into an artesian aquifer — meaning the water is under enough natural pressure to rise to the surface on its own — and flows steadily from a pipe, making it easy to fill jugs, bottles, or any container you bring along. Visitors have described the water as sweet-tasting and consistently cold, qualities typical of deep artesian sources in central Wisconsin's glacially shaped landscape. The surrounding area sits near a lake and creek, and the groundwater that feeds this well is believed to collect from those nearby surface water features filtering down through layers of sand and gravel deposited during the last ice age. The well is open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at no cost. Please note that while this spring has historically been used as a drinking water source and visitors have reported the water tastes clean and refreshing, water quality can change over time and no independent testing results are currently available. ## Directions 1.

There is no handle or pump to operate — the natural artesian pressure keeps the water flowing at a steady rate. The well is situated outside the city of Berlin in a rural, agricultural setting. While the surrounding countryside is generally clean and peaceful, visitors have noted that the immediate area around the well may not always be well-maintained, so watch your footing and be prepared for some untidiness. There are no restrooms, picnic tables, or other amenities on-site. Because this is an outdoor, unattended well, conditions can vary by season. In winter, be aware that the access road and the area around the pipe may be icy. Bringing your own containers is essential — there are no cups or dispensers provided. The well is accessible year-round, day or night.
