About This Spring

## Overview This unnamed private drinking spring is located in Scott County, Kentucky, nestled within the rolling Bluegrass Region of central Kentucky. Situated at GPS coordinates 38.21467, -84.6024, the spring lies within the Scott County School District area, just north of the state capital of Lexington. Scott County is part of the Inner Bluegrass, a region underlain by Ordovician-age limestone — a geology that naturally filters groundwater and gives rise to numerous springs throughout the area. The karst topography of central Kentucky has historically produced some of the state's most reliable and mineral-rich spring water sources, and this spring is one of many that dot the landscape. As a private drinking spring, access may be restricted and visitors should seek permission from the landowner before approaching. The spring has historically been used as a local water source, consistent with the long tradition of spring-fed water use throughout Scott County and the broader Bluegrass Region. ## What to Expect This is a private spring, so conditions and access will depend on the landowner's preferences. The surrounding Scott County landscape is characterized by gently rolling pastures, horse farms, and limestone outcroppings — typical of the scenic Inner Bluegrass. Springs in this part of Kentucky often emerge from limestone formations, producing cool, clear water that has been valued by residents for generations. Visitors interested in locating this spring should be aware that it is on private property. Always obtain permission before visiting. The GPS coordinates (38.21467, -84.6024) can be used to identify the general area, but approach roads and access points may vary. Seasonal water flow in central Kentucky springs can fluctuate, with higher output typically seen in late winter and spring following periods of increased rainfall. As with any natural spring, water quality can change over time and may be influenced by agricultural activity, weather events, or other environmental factors. While springs in the Bluegrass Region have historically been prized as drinking water sources, no current water quality testing data is available for this particular spring.
