Cleo Spring, Campbell River, BC, Canada

Description
You will find a large spring to your right as you travel from Port Alberni to Tofino/Ucluelet. Black pipe flows from all directions, but sticks out of the rock.
The following lab tests were performed by a user in recent times:
"Total Coliforms, (DES) was 38.4MPN/100mL. It was recommended to be 1MPN/100mL

The spring is continuous and cold. The spring is located in a forest area near the road, "in the middle" of nowhere.

Description:
All year, this spring is full. You can drive up to Elkford Road, which is a dead end. From there, walk for about 40 feet. Fresh spring water. The spring itself rises one tier of rock, about thirty feet. This means that the water falling from your car before it even leaves is not actually from the spring. The Spring is approximately thirty feet from the falls. It is tested every now and again by the neighboring community, which always has clear water. After a strong storm, turbidity may be high.

I wouldn't recommend drinking water in this area after dark due to the presence of cougars.
