Summit Spring Bottled spring water

## Overview Summit Spring is a historic natural spring located on Blueberry Hill in Harrison, Maine, within Cumberland County. The spring has long been associated with Summit Spring Water, one of New England's oldest and most well-regarded bottled water brands, which has been sourcing water from this site since the late 1800s. Situated at approximately 900 feet elevation in the foothills of western Maine, the spring draws from a deep glacial aquifer, and the water has historically been prized for its purity and clean, crisp taste. The spring sits in a scenic, rural area of Harrison — a small lakeside town nestled between Long Lake and the rolling hills of Oxford and Cumberland counties. Visitors have reported that the water from Summit Spring is exceptionally clean and refreshing, and it has been used as a drinking water source for well over a century. The GPS coordinates place the spring at 44.128581, -70.639518. ## Directions 1. From the center of Harrison, Maine, head west on Route 117 (Bolsters Mills Road). 2.
