Description

This spring’s outlet is right along the road so it is very easy to access and easy to spot from the road. The spring’s outlet is along the side of a hill and the whole area is a forested state park (Patapsco Valley State Park) with no buildings or hardscape in sight so I imagine the quality of this spring’s water to be quite high. There seems to be a long steel metal pipe running from somewhere up the hill, and the last ten feet or so change to a pvc pipe unfortunately. But the spring is running constantly and at a high speed so I think this plastic contact has little effect. Also this spring is nice and cool when I tasted it in May. The water has a nice cool, thirst quenching quality. The spring lies on road that is sometimes frequented by fast moving, sometimes noisy cars, trucks, and motorcycles so beware!

The spring flows at about 1.5 GPM which seems rather fast! It would be best if someone would have the water tested to find out its quality.

If heading east of west on I 70, exit on route 32 heading north toward Sykesville. Drive north on route 32 for several miles until you reach the Sykesville area. Turn right on Raincliffe Road, then a right on Arrington Road, and then a right on Henryton Road. Follow Henryton Road down the hill for a short distance. When you see the first road which looks like a driveway on the right, pull into this driveway. Then turn around and cross to the other side when the traffic is clear. The spring is here across from the driveway. There is an enlarged shoulder where one can park. Simply unload your bottles and set on the table next to the spring. Fill up as needed! The address I gave above is just down the road a bit where there is a horse camp.

“A concrete springhouse/pump assembly collects water from a reputed five springs uphill/upstream from the point of exit. Part of that water is diverted to supply a nearby farmhouse, but the rest runs out of a pipe (formerly ceramic, but has since been upraded) into an old-fashioned claw-footed bathtub, and from thence on down the hill. The spring has supplied the farmhouse and the public for at least 90 years, according to reports by the current occupants. Water is free and available to the public, and of high quality. I drank it myself for almost 19 years as virtually my sole source of drinking water, until moving out of the area.

I can personally vouch for the excellent flavor of the water from this spring, imho, and the fact that I have not suffered any ill effects from drinking it, up through the summer of 2007. Your mileage may vary. Each person is different, and I can take no responsibility for any harm, damages, or ill effects allegedly arising as a result of consuming water from this spring. I also have no personal, first-hand knowledge of this spring after the summer of 2007.” – Tom Harbold

The spring is sheltered by a grove of trees directly across Stone Chapel Road from the Shelter Systems plant, and directly across Avondale Road from the railroad. It is, basically, right at the intersection of Stone Chapel and Avondale. Behind and above it is what used to be a Christmas tree farm.
