High Mountain High Energy Super Hero Cast Away Spring, St-Pascal, Quebec, Canada

## Overview Nestled high in the hills above Saint-Pascal in the Kamouraska region of Quebec's Lower St. Lawrence, this natural spring — affectionately known as the "High Mountain High Energy Super Hero Cast Away Spring" — offers a refreshing stop for water enthusiasts and locals alike. Situated along Côte Duval at an elevation that provides sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, the spring flows year-round and has long been used by area residents as a source of fresh, naturally filtered water. Saint-Pascal sits within the Appalachian geological region of Quebec, where ancient sedimentary and metamorphic rock formations create ideal conditions for natural springs. Groundwater percolates through layers of rock, picking up trace minerals before emerging at the surface. Visitors have reported that the water from this spring tastes clean and crisp, consistent with the character of many Appalachian-fed springs in the Kamouraska area. The spring is publicly accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making it a convenient resource for those passing through or living in the region. ## Directions 1.

The flow emerges naturally from the hillside, and while it runs consistently, the output is modest — **you will need to bring a bucket or container** in order to fill larger jugs, as there is no high-pressure spout or pipe. A few smaller bottles can be filled directly, but patience may be required for larger quantities. The area around the spring is rural and peaceful, with the wooden bridge serving as a helpful landmark. The road can be narrow, so park carefully and be mindful of local traffic. In winter, Côte Duval may be icy or snow-covered, so appropriate footwear and vehicle preparation are recommended. There are no formal facilities at the spring — no restrooms, signage, or designated parking area. It is a simple, community-known water source in a beautiful natural setting. As with any wild spring, water conditions can change seasonally, and the water has not been officially certified for drinking — though it has historically been used as a drinking water source by local residents.
