About This Spring
Gabriel Dumont discovered the spring. He decided to settle the area because of the fresh water. The ferry was used to cross Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan government built a steel bridge and painted it Blue. Louis Riel, Gabriel Dumont, and Clark used this spring. Although the Canadian Government tried building a road to eliminate it, nature prevailed. It is cool and refreshing during the hot summer days. Follow the road east to the Bridge. The spring receives fresh water from the nearby river "North Saskatchewan". You'll have to walk in the forest and rough coarse to reach this river, though. The area is ideal for picnics and hangouts.
