Clearview

## Overview Clearview is a pair of natural springs located in a quiet residential neighborhood along Clearview Avenue in Harwinton, Connecticut.

Harwinton lies within the western Connecticut highlands, where bedrock geology and glacial deposits create favorable conditions for natural spring emergence. The springs are publicly accessible and have historically been used as a drinking water source by local residents and visitors.
