About This Spring
## Overview Coudersport Spring is a public drinking spring located along State Route 49 East in Eulalia Township, just a short drive north of the borough of Coudersport in Potter County, Pennsylvania. Potter County sits within the rugged Allegheny Plateau region, often called "God's Country" for its pristine forests, dark skies, and abundant natural water sources. This roadside spring is a popular stop for locals and travelers alike who want to fill up on fresh, cool spring water. The spring flows from a spigot and a dedicated drinking water fountain, making it easy to drink on the spot or fill containers. A small grate beneath the spigot collects excess water, keeping the surrounding area clean and free of mud. Visitors are welcome to fill as many containers as they like — just be sure to bring your own, as none are provided on-site. Please note that the water has not been officially tested for drinking fitness, so visitors should drink at their own risk. That said, the spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by the local community and passersby. ## Directions The spring is located at approximately **41.813828, -78.00032**, along State Route 49 East in Eulalia Township, PA 16915. 1.
