About This Spring

## Overview The Underpass Road Spring is a roadside public drinking spring located in the town of Sutton, Vermont, in Caledonia County. Water flows steadily from a pipe on the side of the road, offering a convenient stop for travelers and locals alike. Situated in the rural hills of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, this spring is easily accessible and just a short detour from the main highway corridor. The Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont is known for its abundant groundwater resources, fed by glacial deposits and fractured bedrock aquifers that produce naturally filtered, cold water. Roadside pipe springs like this one have a long tradition in Vermont, where towns have historically maintained public water sources for the community. Visitors have reported the water to be clean and refreshing, though no official water quality testing data is currently available. ## Directions 1. From US Route 5 in the Saint Johnsbury / Sutton area, turn onto VT Route 2B heading east. 2. Travel along VT Route 2B and look for Underpass Road — the spring is located approximately one-half mile from US Route 5. 3. The spring flows from a pipe on the side of the road along Underpass Road, making it visible and accessible from your vehicle. 4. GPS coordinates: **44.425, -72.04061**. The nearest address reference is 664 VT Route 2B, Saint Johnsbury, VT 05819. ## What to Expect This is a simple, no-frills roadside spring — water flows from a pipe directly on the side of Underpass Road, so you can pull over and fill up without any hiking or trail access required. The setting is rural and quiet, surrounded by the wooded hills and pastoral landscape typical of Vermont's Caledonia County. The spring appears to flow year-round, though flow may vary seasonally, with stronger output during spring snowmelt and wetter months. Winter visitors should be aware that icy road conditions and potential freezing around the pipe may affect access during the coldest months. Bring your own containers for collecting water. There are no facilities, signage, or amenities at the site — it's simply a pipe spring on a rural road. The location is easy to reach and makes for a quick stop if you're traveling through the Northeast Kingdom along US Route 5 or VT Route 2B.
