Green Mtn Rd. Spring, Penticton, BC, Canada

## Overview Green Mtn Rd. Spring is a natural roadside spring located along Green Mountain Road on the Penticton Indian Reserve in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. The spring flows directly out of a rock crevasse on the side of the road, offering a convenient and scenic stop for those exploring the area. The spring is accessible year-round, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals and visitors passing through. Situated in the beautiful Okanagan region of British Columbia, the spring sits within the traditional territory of the Penticton Indian Band (Syilx/Okanagan Nation). The surrounding landscape features the dry, rolling hills and pine-dotted terrain characteristic of the southern Okanagan — a striking contrast to the cool, flowing water emerging from the rock face. ## Directions 1.

Drive approximately **10 minutes** up the road. 3. Watch the right-hand side of the road — the spring flows out of a **rock crevasse** and is visible from the road. 4.

Spring is a simple, natural roadside spring — no infrastructure, no signage, just water flowing from a crack in the rock. The flow emerges from a crevasse on the right side of the road as you drive up Green Mountain Road, making it easy to spot if you're watching for it. The spring is accessible directly from the road, so no hiking is required. Visitors have reported that the water flows consistently, though flow rates may vary seasonally. The surrounding area is quiet and rural, with views of the Okanagan hills and sparse vegetation typical of the region's semi-arid climate. Because the spring is located on the Penticton Indian Reserve, visitors should be respectful of the land and leave no trace. There are no facilities, restrooms, or marked parking areas — simply a natural spring along a mountain road. Bring your own containers if you plan to collect water.
