Situated in the rolling agricultural landscape of central Alberta, this roadside spring has served as a convenient stop for travelers and locals seeking fresh, naturally flowing water. Artesian wells in this region typically tap into pressurized underground aquifers fed by glacial deposits, allowing water to rise to the surface without the need for mechanical pumping. The spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by area residents and passersby. ## Directions 1. From the town of Stettler, head south on Highway 56. 2. Continue along Highway 56 toward the hamlet of Fenn. 3. Watch for the artesian well along the highway near the GPS coordinates 52.150962, -112.727966. 4. The spring is roadside, so it should be visible from the highway. Look for a pipe or spout flowing near the road. ## What to Expect Fritz Hill Spring is a roadside artesian well, making it easily accessible directly from Highway 56 without any hiking required. As a naturally pressurized artesian source, the water flows continuously from the ground. Visitors have historically used this well to fill jugs and water containers while passing through the area. The surrounding landscape is typical of central Alberta's parkland region — gently rolling farmland with open prairie views. The spring is a simple, utilitarian stop rather than a scenic destination, but it offers a welcome opportunity to collect naturally flowing groundwater. Conditions may vary seasonally; during winter months, ice buildup around the spout is possible, and access may be affected by snow and road conditions. Bring your own containers if you plan to collect water. As with any natural water source, the water quality has not been independently verified, though it has been historically used as a drinking water source by the local community.
