## Overview The Livingston Manor Spring is a free, publicly accessible drinking water spring located along Grooville Road in the hamlet of Livingston Manor, Sullivan County, New York. Nestled in the scenic Catskill Mountains region, this roadside spring flows year-round and has been a popular stop for locals and visitors seeking fresh, naturally sourced water. Livingston Manor itself sits at the confluence of the Willowemoc Creek and the Little Beaver Kill, an area long celebrated for its pristine waterways and world-class trout fishing. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills, dense forests, and the clean groundwater systems typical of the Catskill watershed — one of the most renowned unfiltered water supplies in the United States.
