Off highway 30. Park at Multnomah Falls lodge. It is a 3 mile hike to the source. You can grab a map of the hiking loops at Multnomah Falls Lodge. This is a great spring. If you are cruising through Oregon and want to stretch your legs on a nice 3 mile hike to a spring, this is the spring to visit. Bring a backpack full of empty bottles for later. Also depending on what time of year you go there are wild salmon berries, blackberries, and thimble berries growing along the trail all the way to the spring.

From Victory Blvd near Clove Lakes ice skating rink turn onto Onario avenue and go up one block on the right side you will see the Marines facility and a fence opening to walk. Use the walking opening in the fence not the car opening.

Vital Information

Hours Spring is Open:

Not sure, usually 24 hours but I have heard it is sometimes closed when the Marines are using the field for a party. (You have to walk thru the field to get to the spring.) The spring is on private property owned by the Marine Corps League, a fraternal group for current and former members of the service, but the fountain is open to the public when they are not using the field.

“Independent testing showed no biologicals present however nitrates were @ 4.6 which indicates runoff from surrounding agri makes drinking this undesirable.” – Dan Skwarek
