Good Water,Enumclaw, WA 98022

## Overview Good Water is a roadside public drinking spring located along Highway 410 between the communities of Enumclaw and Greenwater in King County, Washington. Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Range, this spring sits in a corridor that serves as a gateway to some of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic destinations, including Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, Chinook Pass, and Mount Rainier National Park. The name "Good Water" speaks to the spring's long-standing reputation among locals and travelers who have historically stopped here to fill up containers with fresh, naturally flowing water. The spring has been reported to produce clean-tasting water, and it has served as a convenient refreshment stop for hikers, skiers, and road-trippers heading into the mountains for generations. The surrounding landscape is lush Pacific Northwest forest, with towering evergreens and the scenic beauty of the White River valley nearby. At an approximate elevation consistent with the Highway 410 corridor east of Enumclaw, the spring benefits from snowmelt and rainfall filtering through the volcanic and glacial geology of the Cascade foothills. ## Directions 1.

There is no significant hike required; the spring is located directly alongside Highway 410 with a small area to pull over. Visitors typically stop to fill water jugs and bottles on their way to or from the mountains. The spring flows year-round, though flow rates may vary seasonally, with stronger output during the wetter months of fall through spring. During winter, be aware that Highway 410 in this area can see snow and ice, so drive cautiously. Because this is a roadside spring with no formal infrastructure or treatment, the water is untreated and unmonitored. While it has been historically used as a drinking water source and visitors have reported the water tastes clean and refreshing, water quality can change over time due to weather, runoff, and other environmental factors. The setting along Highway 410 is scenic, with dense coniferous forest on both sides of the road and mountain views in the distance. It makes for a pleasant quick stop, especially if you're en route to Crystal Mountain, Mount Rainier, or heading over Chinook Pass. There are no restroom facilities at the spring itself, but services are available in Enumclaw to the west and at various stops along the highway closer to the national park.
