About This Spring
## Overview Westfield Memorial Park Spring is an artesian spring located in a small, heartfelt community park in the village of Westfield, Wisconsin. The park has been dedicated as a memorial honoring a local firefighter hero, giving this natural water source a meaningful civic backdrop. Situated along North Charles Street, the spring flows naturally from underground pressure, a hallmark of true artesian wells found throughout the sandstone and glacial geology of Marquette County. Artesian springs in this part of central Wisconsin typically draw from deep aquifers beneath layers of glacial drift and Cambrian sandstone, producing water that has been naturally filtered over long distances underground. The spring has historically served as a community drinking water source, and visitors have reported the water to be clean and refreshing. ## Directions 1.

Visitors will find the artesian spring flowing in a park that has been thoughtfully transformed into a tribute to a local firefighter hero, complete with memorial features. The setting is peaceful and easy to access directly from the street — no hiking or rugged terrain is involved. As a public drinking spring, the water has been used by locals and visitors alike over the years. The artesian flow means the water rises to the surface under its own natural pressure, which typically results in a steady, reliable output. Water temperature from artesian sources in this region tends to remain cool and consistent year-round. The park is small but worth a brief stop, especially for those traveling through Marquette County or exploring the natural springs of central Wisconsin. Street parking is available along North Charles Street. The spring is accessible in all seasons, though winter visitors should be prepared for icy conditions around the water source.
