Description

Spring at left side of road. Within a few yard of where Kault Hill Rd and Bolton Rd intersect. The source of the pipe is a short distance above the road. There was a makeshift filter on the top end of the pipe, which sits in the middle of the running water. (I did not follow the spring any higher to find it’s source point.) (This is from memory, so it may have changed since then.)

Description

From the Parking Lot, follow the trail North with Kootenay Lake on your left as you walk. Keep walking for roughly 15 minutes until you see a large medicine wheel next to an uphill forest service road. The spring fed creek is next to the medicine wheel. To access the source, follow the mountain bike trail going up just after the medicine wheel. You will shortly encounter the source as you walk up. There is also another spring on the main trail if you keep walking past the previously mentioned spring and medicine wheel for roughly 5 minutes. It will be on your right side on the trail. You should see water coming out of a rock wall. This is the spring.

Description

This is great fresh water spring. Very cold and clean. Free and available 24/7.

“Many locals use this spring and know of it. The first time I went to find it, we got lost and just asked a nearby resident who gave us great directions. I heard of it from a friend of my dad’s who’s parents have used the spring for many years now.” – Andrea Wiens

Description

Mountain runoff coming through pvc piping. Fresh clean amazing cold water!

This water is fantastic! It’s free and can be busy on the weekends. I’ve met and talked to others who have been drinking it for the last year or so. Some have tested the quality and say it’s very good.

Nearest Address

From Mission, 30 minutes East on Hwy 7, on the side of the mountain. From Abbotsford, if taking Hwy #1, about 1 hour. Take Bridal Falls exit past Chilliwack and follow signs for Hwy #7 West. Its marked by a yellow sign on a post on the side of the hwy.

Directions from Nearest Address

From Hwy #1 heading East, take Bridal Falls exit #135, about 10 minutes past Chilliwack. Pass Minter Gardens and follow the signs for Hwy #7 West for another 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll go through a small town called Agassiz. Eventually, you’ll pass a huge dairy farm on the right and the road will start to take you up a mountain. The spring is 3-4 minutes from the dairy farm. Look for a yellow sign on a post as the spring is kind of hidden (see pix). There’s room for a few vehicles to pull over on the side right next to the spring. Apparently there used to be a big statue that spouted water out but they took it down a while ago. If you’re coming from Mission, take the #7 East; it’s about a 30 minute drive. The spring will be on your left; if you descend the mountain, you’ve gone too far and passed it! Look for the little yellow sign on the post.
