    I believe this spring has been shut down. Anyone out in Moab or Castle Valley know why ?

  • Joelle

    I just found this info, and was hoping to go try it. Does not sound promising after last comment.

  • Trickster

    This spring is open. There was some noise about closing it a little while back but lots of people love this spring and it’s fine. It’s right on the side of the road about 100 yards from the main highway.

    Oh Thank You for responding, I really didn’t think I would hear anything. Just to confirm (cuz my husband is the one who would go get it and he is terrible with vague direction), as you are leaving Moab on HWY 191, you turn right on the road (where all that construction is/was) that goes out to the ranch and the winery (sorry I do not know the names), and after you turn right it is about 100 yards? Is it on the right side of the road or on the left down by the river? It says it is in a little cove. I am so excited.

    The correct name of this spring is “Matrimony Spring”. It is located on highway 128, AKA the “River Road”, which follows the Colorado River. The local authorities removed the pipe and tried to close the spring due to the presence of non-pathogenic (harmless) fecal chloriform bacteria. There are no known cases of illness caused by this water and the public still has full access as of 08/07/11.

    Just an update.  We have been getting water from this spring for about 4 months now; it’s awesome!

    Thanks Daniel for creating this website.  I just stopped in Moab to visit Arches National Park.  While in town we stopped at Moonflower health food store and asked about the spring.  A gal there said it was closed down for a while, and that there had been a huge controversy about the spring, and that is was now open again.  The water is very easy to gather, I filled each of my gallon jugs in about a minute each.  The water tastes wonderful, and feels energizing.  It’s really an amazing spring and worth the time to stop and fill up.

    Great tasting water.  Easiest to access when driving East on 128 – the pullout will be on the right a couple of pullouts after leaving the intersection with 191.  The spout is a little hidden by the large boulders at the end of the pullout, but the water is evident.

    The powers that wish to be did close the spring.  They dismantled to pipe an spout that had served so well for so long.  They then ran a pipe from the stub of the old pipe to carry the water under the roadbed of Hwy 128.  Locals winched out the pipe.  The powers that wish to be pulled the pipe that brought the water out of the rock.  The locals built another spout.  Thus far, the powers who wish they were have paused in frustration. 

    No, I don’t know who the PTWTB are.  My guess is people in the federal bureaucrasy.  Perhaps some of the locals will enlighten me.
