Description
Minerally taste, clear, very little sediment. cool but, not ice cold. Piped.
The water was named due to travelers who would be severely thirsty and drink too much of the water when they found it. Not because the water itself is toxic and gives one a belly ache!

We're super impressed with the initiative of Julie and Sarah finding the source of this spring, and for Julie's help when we contacted her for more information. Its a steep grade, you do have to hike through the stream in some places and there is really only the hint of a trail. To get to the pipe, stay on the water and keep going up…its only about 10-15 minutes from the waterfall to the pipe. The mineral water is lovely to drink. You can probably only hike about a few mason jars of water out…its precarious going down in some places.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
First Raw Water Harvest.
We drove up from Topanga Canyon once we learned about Daniel and all his amazing work. We love findaspring.com and will continue to spread the word…..we are firm believers that we are now truly connected and fueled by Mother Nature. Yes this hike is pretty serious and pretty difficult with a 3 gallon jug…..but we did it. We're gonna bring a few bottles and do several trips next time….and make this a monthly habit. There is also a site called ojaispringrevival.com that has more info about the spring and a water profile!!
We're also gonna try and make this expedition a bit easier for others someway without disrupting the natural flow.
We tried to find this spring a couple weeks ago. There were trails on both sides of the falls, and we didn't know which one to follow, we tried both but they were both really washed out and overgrown at certain points so we thought we were doing something wrong. But reading the descriptions here, it seems like it can just be a tricky spot to get to! We're going to go back in a couple weeks and try again.
This was the very first natural spring I've ever been to and was suggested by my cousin (his second time) to seek the best natural water. Boy was he correct. The water coming from spring is absolutely amazing. So fresh, tastey, RAW, and yes if you are skeptical……it is completely safe. I drank over 6 liters within a few days and had absolutely no problems. A true resource for a raw vegan (such as myself). The spring is a little challenging to get to so bring some good shoes (traction or even water proof), maybe gloves as the rocks are sharp, and a buddy to get more water. Probably better to claim water during sunlight too even though we did it in the rain. But rest assure, this gift of life from God is so amazing.
