Fredrick-Miller Spring

Description:

There are a few parking spaces for you to stop at and there’s a pipe sticking out of the ground that runs fresh drinking quality water year round.‭ ‬It is always clean and always cold.‭ ‬If you sit there and watch for awhile,‭ ‬you will see that every‭ ‬3-4‭ ‬minutes someone will stop,‭ ‬fill up a bunch of water bottles,‭ ‬and then get back in their car and drive off.‭ ‬I would guess about‭ ‬200‭ ‬people a day stop there.‭ ‬The Lion’s Tap restaurant nearby even has some water containers there because they know a lot of people come there before or after going to the spring.‭ ‬There is also a small nature park and a stream there.

    Large glass bottles in various sizes are available at Midwest Hydroponic & Homebrewing Supplies. I prefer to use the gallon size, but they have many other sizes - 3 gallon, 5 gallon, 6 gallon and so forth. They also sell corks, screw caps and organic gardening supplies.

    Updated Directions:
    The fastest way to get to Fredrick-Miller Spring from Minneapolis is Highway 100 South to 62 West to 212 West to County Road 4. At the top of the exit ramp turn right and go straight for 2 miles (through about 4 stop lights if I recall correctly). After the road starts going down hill you will pass by some condominiums. The spring is further down the hill on the left side of the road in a heavily wooded area about a quarter mile past the condos. If you see Lyons Tap on the right side you have gone too far.

    (10.10.2009) Not sure when this spring was posted, but the roads have since changed. The "old" 212 is now Flying Cloud Drive, the "new" 212 is a few miles north. So, if you are on 212 you would take County Rd 4 SOUTH to get to the spring. Continue south past the spring to get to the Lion's Tap where the road ends at a "T" on Flying Cloud Drive. (hope that's not confusing!)

    There were about 10 people waiting to get water when we finally found it....tastes delicious!
  • My well in Central Minnesota reads 272 if I remember correctly.

    Im so happy to hear about this spring.
