Description

It has a pvc plastic pipe that appears to come right out the rock. It has a small pool underneath.

The elevation is 2211 feet.

Route 214 is the highest elevation state road in all of New York State (so you know the spring water you’ll be getting is some of the best pure mountain spring water out there!)

Nearest Address

1/4 mile past Lane Rd. on the right hand side. Just past a State Land Property sign on right. There is a small pull off for the spring and it will be just before that pull off.

If you’re coming to this spring from the south, take Route 28 all the way until you take the turn for Phoenicia, NY (there are 2 turns that will get you off of Rte-28 to the center of Phoenicia—either one is fine to take). In just about 0.2 miles you will see a turn saying “Route 214”. Take Route 214 almost exactly 10.5 miles up the mountain. When you are getting close to the spring, you will pass several locations for a state park called “Devil’s tombstone”. The final location for the state park has a small lake after it, on the left side of the road. Keep going a bit, but slow down, as there will be a very small dirt pull-off on the left-hand side of the road. The spring is not marked, and it’s not visible from the road, but when you pull off and get out of the car, you will see a very small “ditch” where there are some rocks and a piece of black plastic piping. You have found the spring!

Right next to the spring, on the left-hand side of the road is a small sign that says “state land forest preserved acquired 1909. There is also a small mile-market sign that says “214…1302…1068”.
