About This Spring

## Overview The Burnett Wisconsin Spring #1 is a beloved artesian spring located in the small village of Burnett in Dodge County, Wisconsin. Situated in front of the Peachy-Grain Elevators along Main Street, this public spring has been a community fixture for over a century. Locals have long drawn water from the spring, and it remains freely accessible to the public with no fenced boundaries or restricted access. The spring flows year-round through a 4-inch diameter pipe, delivering a strong and steady stream of artesian water. Its consistent output is characteristic of the artesian wells found throughout Dodge County, where pressurized groundwater from the region's glacially deposited sediments and underlying dolomite bedrock naturally rises to the surface. Visitors have historically reported the water to be clean and refreshing, and the spring has served as a trusted local water source for generations. ## Directions 1. Head to the village of Burnett in Dodge County, Wisconsin (ZIP 53922). 2. Find Main Street (W6130 Main) in the center of the village. 3. Look for the Peachy-Grain Elevators — the spring is located directly in front of the elevator buildings. 4. The spring is adjacent to a bike trail, so it is also accessible by bicycle. **GPS Coordinates:** 43.5047, -88.705121 ## What to Expect The spring is easy to access and sits right along Main Street in Burnett, making it a convenient stop whether you're driving through or riding the adjacent bike trail. The 4-inch pipe delivers a robust, continuous flow of artesian water, so there's no need to wait for a trickle — filling jugs and bottles is quick and easy. The setting is rural and unassuming, with the grain elevators providing a distinctive small-town Wisconsin backdrop. There are no gates, fences, or usage fees — the spring is open to the public at all times. Because the flow is year-round, the spring is accessible even during Wisconsin's colder months, though visitors should be mindful of icy conditions around the pipe area in winter. Cyclists on the nearby bike trail will find this a perfect hydration stop. The spring's roadside location means parking is straightforward — simply pull off along Main Street near the elevators.
