Selkirk Spring, Selkirk, PA

## Overview Selkirk Spring is a hidden gem tucked away in the rural woodlands of Warren County, Pennsylvania, near the small community of Grand Valley. Far from the beaten path, this seepage spring is largely unknown to the wider public, but those who make the journey are rewarded with a peaceful, well-maintained roadside spring in a beautiful coniferous setting. The spring originates from a natural seepage point roughly a quarter mile uphill in a dense stand of coniferous trees. The water flows downhill through the woods before reaching a small spring house at the roadside, where it exits through a PVC pipe for easy collection. The spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals and visitors alike, and the water has been reported to taste clean and refreshing. Wildlife in the area seems particularly drawn to this spring — visitors have noted that animals in the region appear to prefer Selkirk Spring over other nearby water sources, so keep an eye out for deer, birds, and other forest creatures during your visit. ## Directions **Starting from Titusville, PA:** 1.

You'll find a simple but functional setup: a small spring house sheltering the outflow, with a PVC pipe that makes filling bottles and jugs easy. The setting is quiet and scenic — the spring sits at the edge of a coniferous forest, and the surrounding woods give the area a serene, secluded feel. Because the spring is so remote, you're unlikely to encounter a crowd or have to wait. However, you may share the space with local wildlife. Deer, birds, and other animals are commonly seen near the spring, drawn by the reliable water source. The road to the spring is rural and may not be well-marked, so using the GPS coordinates is recommended.
