About This Spring

## Overview LeBoeuf Trail Pure Water is a privately held natural spring located along LeBoeuf Trail Road in Troy Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. Situated in the rolling countryside between Franklin and Meadville, this spring has been reported to flow continuously since at least 1977, offering a steady source of natural water for decades. Because the spring sits on private property, access is entirely at the discretion of the landowner. Visitors have noted that the owner may allow you to fill a jug or two, and you may be asked to pay a small fee — but none of this is guaranteed. This is not a public fill-up station, so plan accordingly and do not expect to fill large containers. Always approach respectfully, and be prepared to be turned away if the timing isn't right. The water has historically been used for drinking purposes by the property owner and visitors alike. However, as with any untreated natural spring, you should examine the water's appearance, smell, and surrounding conditions before consuming it. The spring is also known to freeze during harsh Pennsylvania winters and periods of heavy snowfall. ## Directions The spring is located at approximately **41.6217, -79.8363**, along LeBoeuf Trail Road near Centerville, PA. **Route Option 1 — Via US Route 427 from Franklin, PA:** 1.

There are no public facilities, signage, or designated parking areas — this is someone's home, not a park. Approach with courtesy and respect for the landowner's privacy. The water flow has been described as continuous since 1977, though it may freeze or slow significantly during Pennsylvania's cold winters. The surrounding area is typical of Crawford County's pastoral landscape — gently rolling hills, farmland, and quiet country roads. Because this is a private spring with no formal public access, it's wise to have a backup plan for water if you're traveling through the area. If the owner does grant access, be gracious, keep your visit brief, and leave the area exactly as you found it.
