Old Greendale Township Hall, Shepherd, Michigan 48883

## Overview The Old Greendale Township Hall spring is a long-flowing artesian well located at 309 North Geneva Road (also referenced as 329 North Geneva Road) near Shepherd, Michigan, in Midland County. For over 70 years, this well has maintained a steady, continuous flow, making it a beloved local source of natural spring water. Despite the mailing address listing Shepherd, the spring is situated within Midland County — a detail that can cause some confusion for first-time visitors. The well is associated with the original Greendale Township Hall site. The township hall itself has since been relocated and renovated at 4750 West Isabella Road in Shepherd, and notably, the new hall does not have running water. The old hall location, however, continues to serve the community through this dependable flowing well. Visitors have long reported the water to be clean and refreshing, and it has historically been used as a drinking water source by area residents. ## Directions 1.

The well has been running continuously for more than seven decades, producing a reliable stream of water year-round. The setting is rural and quiet, typical of the agricultural landscape of central Michigan's Midland County. The flow is reported to be consistent regardless of season, which is characteristic of a deep artesian source tapping into the region's glacial aquifer system.

The area is accessible by road, and visitors typically pull off along North Geneva Road to fill containers. As with any natural water source, conditions can change over time, and the water has not been independently verified for quality through this listing. While it has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals for decades, visitors should be aware that water quality can vary.
