Greig Artesian Spring

## Overview Greig Artesian Spring is a privately operated artesian spring located along Greig Road in the hamlet of Greig, Lewis County, New York. Situated in the western foothills of the Adirondack region, this spring offers visitors access to naturally pressurized artesian water that has been praised by locals and visitors alike for its clean, refreshing taste. The spring operates on an honor-system payment model — a simple and charming setup that reflects the rural character of the area. The water flows from an artesian source, meaning it rises naturally under pressure from a confined underground aquifer, typically resulting in consistent flow and temperature year-round. Artesian springs in this part of New York often draw from deep glacial deposits laid down thousands of years ago, and the natural filtration through layers of rock and sediment is what gives the water its reputation for quality and flavor. ## Directions 1.
