About This Spring

## Overview Menomee Spring is a public drinking spring located along Sycamore Road in Plymouth, Marshall County, Indiana. This natural spring has long served the local community, offering free-flowing water to visitors year-round. Over the years, multiple individuals have reportedly tested the water and found it to be of good quality, and the spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by area residents. The spring sits in a rural stretch of road near West Elementary School, making it a convenient stop for locals and travelers passing through the Plymouth area. The corrected GPS coordinates for the spring are approximately **41.332632, -86.405647**, and the nearest address is **9971 Sycamore Road, Plymouth, IN 46563**. ## Directions 1. **From Highway 30**, head toward the Rose Road crossing. 2. **Turn right (south) onto Rose Road.** Shortly after turning, you'll notice **Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park** on your right — this is a good landmark to confirm you're on the correct route. 3. **Continue south on Rose Road** until you reach **Sycamore Road**, then follow it toward the spring. 4.

Simply turn around and head back; the spring will now be on your right, just a short distance back. *Note: West Elementary School is located nearby and can serve as an additional landmark.* ## What to Expect Menomee Spring is a modest, roadside natural spring — don't expect a grand park setup. The water flows freely and is accessible directly from the road, making it a quick and easy stop. Visitors have reported that the water tastes clean and fresh, and it has been used as a community drinking water source over the years. That said, as with any natural spring, water quality can vary with weather and seasonal conditions, and independent testing is always a wise precaution. The surrounding area is rural and quiet, with flat Indiana farmland and scattered trees. There is no formal parking lot, so visitors typically pull off to the side of Sycamore Road. The spring is easy to access on foot once you've parked. Nearby Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park makes this a potential side trip for families camping in the area, and the town of Plymouth offers additional amenities just a short drive away.
