About This Spring
## Overview Greensfork Township Park Spring is a continuous-flow public drinking spring located in the rural landscape of Randolph County, Indiana, near the small community of Lynn. Situated within the grounds of Greensfork Township Park at 6995 E 700 S, this spring offers a steady, year-round flow of naturally sourced water. The spring has historically served as a local drinking water source for area residents and visitors to the park. Randolph County sits atop glacial till deposits left behind by the Wisconsin glaciation, and many of the region's natural springs emerge where groundwater meets layers of sand and gravel within these glacial sediments. This geological setting helps explain the spring's continuous flow, as the water table in this part of east-central Indiana is relatively high and well-recharged by seasonal rainfall. ## Directions 1.
