Bedrock rd spring

## Overview Bedrock Road Spring is a public drinking spring located along County Highway 29 near Dellroy, Ohio, in Carroll County. Situated in the rolling hills of east-central Ohio, this area is part of the Appalachian Plateau region, known for its sandstone and shale bedrock formations that naturally filter groundwater and feed numerous springs. The rural countryside surrounding Dellroy — a small village near Atwood Lake and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District — has long been home to natural springs that local residents have historically relied upon as sources of fresh water. The spring sits at an elevation consistent with the hilly terrain of Carroll County, where groundwater percolates through layers of sedimentary rock before emerging at the surface. Springs in this part of Ohio have historically been valued by both indigenous peoples and early European settlers for their consistent, cool water flow. ## Directions 1.

The surrounding landscape features the gentle, wooded hills typical of Ohio's Appalachian foothills, making for a pleasant stop along the way. As with many roadside springs in eastern Ohio, water flow may vary seasonally — expect stronger flow during spring and early summer when groundwater levels are highest, and potentially reduced output during late summer dry spells. The water has historically been used as a drinking water source by local residents, though water quality can fluctuate and has not been independently verified. The spring is conveniently located along County Highway 29, making it easily accessible by car.
