Clive

## Overview Located in the rural farmland of Red Deer County, Alberta, Canada — near the small community of Clive — this natural public drinking spring offers free, year-round access to naturally occurring spring water. The spring flows at a brisk rate, making it easy to fill jugs and containers quickly. Two hoses emerge from the source; visitors should fill from the hose fitted with a gate valve, which has been set up specifically for public convenience. The surrounding landscape is classic central Alberta prairie — wide-open farmland dotted with stands of pine and spruce. The spring has been used by locals and visitors alike as a drinking water source, though as with any natural spring, water quality can vary and has not been independently verified. **Important GPS Note:** The correct coordinates for this spring are **52.4939390079794, -113.40065283566598** (Plus Code: FHVX+HPH Clive, Alberta, Canada). Some websites list an incorrect pin location. The coordinates provided here were confirmed by a real visitor and are considered highly accurate. ## Directions *Starting from the town of Clive, Alberta:* 1. Head to **51 Ave** and turn **left**. 2. Continue north on **Range Road 245**. 3. Pass the first left turn — do not take it. 4. You will see a right turn onto an unconstructed road, but this leads to private property — **do not take it**. 5. Continue ahead and take the **next right turn** onto **Township Road 410**. 6. Drive approximately **1 to 1.5 miles** east along Township Road 410. 7. Look for a **cluster of pine and spruce trees on your left** — this marks the spring location. **Note:** There are several unconstructed paths in the area that lead to private properties. If you become disoriented, consider asking locals for directions. The area is remote and cell service may be limited. ## What to Expect The spring is situated in open farmland, so it may be visible from the road once you know what to look for — a small grove of evergreen trees standing out against the flat agricultural landscape. Park your vehicle safely on the shoulder of the road and walk in to the spring. The water flow is fast and steady, and filling containers is quick and easy. Use the hose with the gate valve for the best experience. The second hose may also be flowing but is not specifically set up for visitor use. There are no formal facilities, signage, or designated parking at this location — it is a simple, natural spring in a rural setting. The spring is reported to be accessible 24/7 and free of charge. Visitors have historically used this as a drinking water source, though water conditions can change over time and no formal testing results are publicly available. Bring your own containers and be respectful of the surrounding private farmland. This is a quiet, off-the-beaten-path stop that rewards those willing to make the short drive from Clive.
