Smokey's Hydrant, Winhall, VT, 05340

Description:

This natural spring water in Manchester Center, Vermont, United States, occurs naturally in the woods, which makes it difficult to locate. The water is said to be good for drinking, but some people claim it to contain fertilizers and some waste disposed of by the nearby inns. The water is accessible to the public for free 24/7.

Where can I find spring water?

The correct coordinates are 43.149202,-73.0656 and the complete address is River Rd, Manchester Center, VT 05255, USA.

Directions:

Head south from Manchester on Vermont Rte 7a and take the River Road (the left one) where it splits into two. If you reached the Dellwood Cemetery, you've taken the wrong road. Continue on the River road until you reach the third crossing. The spring is off-road there. If you reached the Wilburton Inn, you've gone way too far.

More details:

There should be ample parking space by the roadside. Avoid stopping on the road for a long time. The site is in the woods and there is little to no human residence. So strictly avoid visiting at night.
