About This Spring

## Overview Tucked along the eastern end of Main Street in the small village of Cherry Creek, New York, a natural spring has been flowing steadily for many years, serving as a beloved local water source for residents and visitors alike. The spring emerges through a pipe positioned above the sidewalk, delivering a constant stream of fresh water year-round. Situated in Chautauqua County in the southwestern corner of New York State, Cherry Creek is a quiet, rural community where this public drinking spring has become a quiet landmark — a reminder of the region's abundant groundwater resources fed by the glacially shaped terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. Locals have long relied on this spring, and visitors have reported that the water tastes clean and refreshing. The spring flows into the nearby creek that gives the village its name, adding to the charm of this small-town water source. ## Directions 1. Head to the village of Cherry Creek, NY, located along Route 83 in Chautauqua County. 2. Find Main Street (the primary road through the village) and travel toward its eastern end. 3. Look for Butcher Road — the spring is located in this area, near where Main Street meets the creek. 4. The spring pipe is positioned above the sidewalk and is visible from the road. The constant flow of water makes it easy to spot. 5. **GPS Coordinates:** 42.293654, -79.099498 6. **Nearest address:** 6770 Main St, Cherry Creek, NY 14723 ## What to Expect The spring flows continuously through a pipe that sits above sidewalk level, making it easy to fill bottles or jugs without any special equipment. The water runs year-round, and the setup is simple and accessible — no hiking or off-road travel is required. The spring is right along the road in the village, so parking nearby on Main Street should be straightforward. The surrounding area is a pleasant, small-town setting. The creek that the spring feeds into runs nearby, and the eastern end of Main Street offers a peaceful spot to stop. Cherry Creek village itself is a quiet community with a rural, unhurried feel — a nice place to pause if you're traveling through Chautauqua County. Because the spring is a public roadside source with no formal water testing posted, visitors should be aware that water quality can vary with seasonal conditions. The spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals, but no official water quality certifications are known to be on file.
