Description

Description
In the back corner is a spring house which has been used for generations by farmers. The spring continues to form the Stephens Falls near the house once it is out of the house. This area is popular with foot traffic. Large bottles will require creativity to fill. Gov. Dodge also houses two other springhouses, but Stephens' Falls is the most accessible, clean and active.
The park has a brochure that warns: "Despite it looking tempting, we recommend you refrain from sampling the water." Stephens' spring is tempting but not impossible to resist.
Nearest Address

Description:
Spring flows through a pipe that is well guarded with thick, thorny vegetation. Since 1911, the Wilson's have had a homestead here. It is possible that the pipe dates back to this time. Only concrete, stone and the pipe are left. This water source is identified by the bent tree that can be found near the path. This spring is situated at the top of a canyon made by the flow of many springs. The "driftless" area has never been surrounded by glaciers.

Public Drinking Spring

The spring is located along the Military Ridge Trail, just east of Riley WI. The Wisconsin DNR has taken down an observation deck and appears to be de-emphasizing that the spring is still present. Clear water emerges from a sandy bed and flows into Sugar River's upper headwatres. There is a lot watercress available in the season. It's a wonderful place to get on your bike and take a break.
