Springs in Vermont

23 natural springs in Vermont, United States

Vermont is defined by its rugged, densely forested terrain, dominated by the Green Mountains that run north-south through the state's center. The landscape features a mix of granite and limestone bedrock, overlaid with glacial deposits that give rise to numerous water sources. From the fertile Champlain Valley in the northwest to the higher elevations of peaks like Mount Mansfield, the state's topography creates a diverse environment for groundwater emergence.

The state experiences a humid continental climate with distinct seasonal changes that directly impact spring flow. Winters bring heavy snowfall, which acts as a natural reservoir. As temperatures rise in late March and April, the melting snowpackβ€”often combined with spring rainsβ€”results in the "mud season," a time of peak water flow when springs and streams are most active. While flow is typically reliable through early summer, drier periods in late July and August can reduce output in shallower springs.

Explorers visiting the region will find a wealth of natural beauty to accompany their search for water, from vibrant autumn foliage to lush summer canopies. Whether you are hiking in the higher elevations or visiting accessible roadside stops, Vermont offers a scenic backdrop for finding spring water. Always have spring water independently tested before drinking. Water quality can change with seasons and conditions.
