About This Spring
## Overview Mohicanville Church Spring is a constantly flowing public drinking spring located in the small community of Mohicanville in Ashland County, Ohio. Situated directly in front of the Mohicanville Community Church at 343 State Route 95, the spring is easily visible from the road and has long served as a convenient stop for locals and travelers looking to collect fresh spring water. The spring head has been enclosed in a concrete shell, providing a tidy and accessible collection point. Visitors should note that plastic hosing is needed to fill jugs or cartons from the spring — it's a good idea to bring your own flexible tubing to make the process easier. The water flows continuously year-round, and the spring is open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The water has historically been used as a drinking water source by the local community, though no official water quality testing data is currently available. Mohicanville sits in the scenic Mohican country of north-central Ohio, an area known for its rolling hills, dense forests, and the nearby Mohican State Park and Pleasant Hill Lake. The region's geology — characterized by sandstone formations and glacial deposits — gives rise to numerous natural springs throughout the area. This particular spring has become a well-known local landmark, closely associated with the Mohicanville Community Church that stands just behind it. ## Directions 1.

The concrete enclosure around the spring head keeps the source protected, and the water flows constantly regardless of season. Because the outlet requires plastic hosing to direct the water into containers, visitors are advised to bring a length of flexible tubing — without it, filling bottles and jugs can be awkward. The setting is peaceful and rural, with the Mohicanville Community Church providing a quiet backdrop. There are no formal facilities, restrooms, or parking lots — just a roadside pull-off near the church. The spring is fully accessible at any hour, making it a convenient stop whether you're passing through on SR 95 or exploring the greater Mohican area. If you're visiting the region, consider combining a trip to the spring with a visit to nearby **Mohican State Park**, which offers hiking trails, canoeing on the Mohican River, and stunning scenery — especially during fall foliage season. The charming town of Loudonville, often called the "Canoe Capital of Ohio," is just a short drive to the east.
