Errol Roadside Spring, Errol, New Hampshire, NH

## Overview The Errol Roadside Spring is a rustic public drinking spring located along Millsfield Pond Road in the small northern New Hampshire town of Errol, deep in Coos County. The spring emerges through a pipe rising above a stone-lined well, offering a classic New England roadside water source. Nestled in the heart of the Great North Woods region, this spring sits amid the rugged, forested landscape that defines far-northern New Hampshire — an area known for its pristine waterways, moose sightings, and remote wilderness character. Errol itself is a tiny crossroads community at the confluence of the Androscoggin and Magalloway Rivers, historically a hub for logging and outdoor recreation. Roadside springs like this one have long served as refreshment stops for travelers, hunters, and anglers exploring the surrounding backcountry. The water has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals and passersby, though visitors should be aware that water quality can vary with seasonal conditions. ## Directions 1. From the center of Errol, head north on **NH Route 26** toward the Millsfield area. 2. Turn onto **Millsfield Pond Road**. 3. Continue along Millsfield Pond Road until you reach the vicinity of **150 Millsfield Pond Road**. 4. Watch for the stone well and pipe on the roadside — the spring is visible from the road and easy to spot. GPS coordinates: **44.712197, -71.174439** — recommended for navigation, as the area is remote and cell service can be limited. ## What to Expect The spring presents as a pipe rising from a stone-lined well at the roadside — a simple, utilitarian setup typical of traditional New England roadside springs. The surrounding area is heavily wooded, and visitors will enjoy the quiet, unspoiled atmosphere of the Great North Woods. Millsfield Pond Road is a rural route, so expect gravel or unpaved surfaces in places. The spring is accessible directly from the road with no hiking required, making it a convenient stop. Given the remote location in northern Coos County, it's wise to have a full tank of gas and a reliable GPS or paper map, as cell coverage in this part of New Hampshire is spotty at best. The area around Errol is popular for fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and moose-watching, so the spring makes a natural refreshment stop for anyone exploring the region. Seasonal visitors should note that access may be affected by winter road conditions and spring mud season.
