Hatton Artesian Well

## Overview The Hatton Artesian Well is a public drinking spring located along Hatton Road in rural Waupaca County, Wisconsin, near the small city of Weyauwega. As an artesian well, the water here flows naturally to the surface under its own pressure — the result of an underground aquifer confined between impermeable rock layers, a geological feature common in parts of central Wisconsin where glacial deposits and sandstone formations create ideal conditions for pressurized groundwater. Waupaca County is well known for its abundant groundwater resources and spring-fed waterways, and the Hatton Artesian Well is one of several roadside springs in the region that locals have relied on for years. Visitors have historically used this well as a source of fresh drinking water, and it remains a popular stop for area residents filling jugs and bottles. ## Directions 1. From Weyauwega, head south on WI-110 / South Mill Street. 2. Turn west (right) onto Hatton Road (County Road). 3. Continue along Hatton Road for approximately 1–2 miles. 4. The artesian well is located roadside near the address E4531 Hatton Rd, Weyauwega, WI 54983. 5. GPS coordinates: **44.2643, -88.9972**.

The surrounding landscape is flat to gently rolling farmland and wooded areas characteristic of Waupaca County. Because this is an artesian well, the water flows year-round, though flow rates may vary seasonally. The water has been reported to taste clean and cold, as is common with deep artesian sources in the region. That said, water quality can change over time, and visitors should be aware that no public testing results are currently available for this well. There are no formal facilities at the site — no restrooms, parking lots, or signage beyond what may be posted locally. Visitors typically pull off to the side of Hatton Road to access the well. The area is quiet and rural, making it a pleasant stop on a drive through Waupaca County. The well is accessible by car and is located right along the road, so no hiking is required. It's a great stop to combine with a visit to nearby attractions like the Waupaca Chain O' Lakes or the city of Weyauwega itself.
