About This Spring
## Overview New London Pine Spring is a lesser-known natural spring tucked along Pine Road in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, near the city of New London. While many visitors flock to the more popular spring located on County Road W, this quieter alternative has earned a loyal following among spring water enthusiasts. Visitors have noted that the water here has a lower pH and a more flavorful taste compared to its well-known neighbor, making it a favorite for those who prefer a distinctive mineral profile. The spring flows freely year-round, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is accessible to the public at no cost. A spout provides a convenient way to collect water directly from the source. ## Directions **Nearest Address:** 5188 Pine Road, New London, WI 1. From County Road W, head west on Highway HH. 2. Stay on Highway HH as it curves to the right and transitions into Pine Road. 3. Continue along Pine Road — the spring spout will be visible on the left side of the road. **GPS Coordinates:** 44.29656, -88.799665 ## What to Expect New London Pine Spring is a roadside spring with a spout that makes filling bottles and jugs straightforward. Because it sits along Pine Road rather than the busier County Road W corridor, you're likely to encounter fewer visitors here, giving the stop a more peaceful, unhurried feel. The spring flows continuously throughout the year, including during Wisconsin's cold winter months, so you can plan a visit in any season. The surrounding area is characteristic of central Wisconsin's gently rolling terrain with pine-lined roadsides — a pleasant backdrop for a quick stop or a longer pause. As with any natural spring, water conditions can vary over time. While visitors have reported that the water tastes clean and flavorful with a notably lower pH, anyone collecting water should use their own discretion regarding consumption. There are no posted hours or gates — the spring is accessible around the clock.
