Beaslys Spring - Canmore, Camrose, Alberta, Canada

## Overview Beaslys Spring is a publicly accessible natural spring located in Camrose County, Alberta, near the shores of Dried Meat Lake. The spring flows continuously year-round, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and has long been a valued water source for local residents. Water emerges from two pipes mounted high enough off the ground to conveniently fill large jugs, carboys, and other vessels. The County of Camrose actively maintains this spring and tests the water multiple times per month. For the latest water quality information or any questions, you can contact the County of Camrose at **780-672-4446** or visit their website at [www.county.camrose.ab.ca](http://www.county.camrose.ab.ca). While the spring has historically been used as a public drinking water source and is regularly tested by the county, visitors should check with local authorities for the most current water quality results before consuming the water. Though the spring is highly utilized, it tends to be frequented by a relatively small, dedicated group of locals who return regularly to fill up their containers — a testament to the water's reputation in the community. ## Directions Beaslys Spring is located south of Dried Meat Lake, approximately 63 miles (about 100 km) from the town of Camrose. Follow these steps to reach it: 1. Head toward Tillicum Beach via **Range Road 200**. 2. Turn left and follow the road signs and indications toward the lake. 3. Continue south of the lake for approximately **13 km**. Begin to slow down as you start to see the lake come into view. 4. Watch for **metal guard railings** on the side of the road — this is your landmark. 5. Turn right at the guard railings. 6. Continue on the right-hand side for about **50 yards (45 metres)** and you will see the spring. The County of Camrose maintains and plows the road to the spring during winter, so it is accessible year-round. ## What to Expect Beaslys Spring is a simple, well-maintained public water point. The two pipes deliver a continuous flow of water, and their elevated position makes it easy to fill everything from water bottles to large containers without needing to crouch or use a funnel. The surrounding area is rural and scenic, situated in the rolling Alberta parkland south of Dried Meat Lake. Because the county maintains the site — including winter road plowing — the spring is reliably accessible in all seasons. There is no fee to use the spring, and no hours of operation to worry about. Visitors should be aware that this is a roadside spring with minimal facilities, so plan accordingly. The setting is quiet and peaceful, making it a pleasant stop whether you're passing through or making a dedicated trip to fill up on fresh spring water.
