    I went to this spring over the weekend, and it is great. However the area across the street from it was filthy. Trash was everywhere, and someone had left a pile of rotting deer organs, and skin behind some rocks. It really is unfortunate, Hopefully a clean-up can be organized at some point to fix this area up for all to enjoy.

    magical water… mystical mountain… fun experience with children! they can run up and down the mountain side while you fill up jugs. amazing blue stones at base of spring (beginning of stream) that children can collect while filling. SO FUN. we'll be going monthly to fill up our 10 5-gallon jugs. and we'll be trash/recycling collecting everytime we go~ as all water fillers should (area below spring is littered). please help. thanks findaspring.com!

    Happened to once drive by and saw a lady with many 1 gallon empty Deer Park containers filling them at the Spring. Asked what are you doing? She said , you didn't know? it's a natural spring and I come here every week.

    Have been there now 3 weeks in a row and fill up with water. The area across has just enough space to park 1 car; enough space as no one is ever there anyway. Water tastes great. You can fill up a 2.5 gallon container in seconds.

    I am SO excited that there is a spring so close to me and in road accessible as I have Lyme's and can't hike. I will go there ASAP and I can't wait! Thanks Findaspring!!!!

  • DanielLeo123

    I went to the spring today! I filled up a 5 gallon jug and am drinking the spring water in a green smoothie now. It tastes great! Don't plan on going back to tap water ever again!

    I checked the TDS and Temperature of Spoutin' Spring today.
    TDS was 7. Tempature was 52.5 degrees fahrenheit, 11.4 degrees celsius.
    Also I put in new PVC piping. The old stuff was looking kind of shabby.

    I checked the TDS and temperature of Spoutin' Spring today. TDS was 6. Temperature was 53.6 degrees fahrenheit, 12 degrees celsius. It took about 7 seconds to fill up a gallon jug.

    Visited the spring today – our 2nd visit in 2 weeks. It is an hour’s drive for us from NOVA. As was the last time there was a slight wait because of so many people wanting to fill up bottles (last time was a Friday). It remains COLD, sweet and beautiful! My children take off their shoes and “freeze” their little feet in the water below the spring. Way too much dumping, though – many more bags of rotting trash across the street from the spring. I’m not comfortable hauling them home in my vehicle with small children – suggestions on how to clean it up?

    We visited the spring on Oct. 10, a Sunday afternoon. There was only one other car there. We filled a 5 gallon jug and several smaller jugs. We took home 12 gallons. I’ve been drinking this delicious water ever since and plan to go back when our supply runs out. It’s one hour from Tysons Corner, VA, and a scenic drive. Once you get off of 15 onto Rosemont, it’s about 5.7 miles up the road (road changes name twice) on the right We’re so glad we learned about this spring on this site. THANK YOU!.

  • Sue

    Thank you for putting in the new PVC piping. We are new visitors to the Spring and appreciate what you did.

  • Roots

    Went last night and filled up the water had a unusual earthy? Taste to it different than any other time ihave gotten it. I though maybe it could be due to the decomposing of all the leaves in the area anyone have any thoughts on this?

  • Roots

    And on top of that if anyone would like to try and organize a way to clean the area and help protect our water please comment on this post i subscribed via email so i should recieve updates via email. If we can get enough people together maybe we can clean the area and try and protect OUR water source. The water we drink we have to care for with the same care one puts into any other aspect of our life. I know i try and clean and do as much as i can when i stop by.

    Can you tell me how far is this from Washington, DC

  • Nicholas

    I went today. I am wondering about the smell of the water. It has a strong sulphur smell. Is it OK to drink? thanks

  • Roots

    Should be ok it’s been about a month now that it has had that odor and taste. My theory was that due to fall the decomposing forest floor from the leaves is letting a bit of sulfur into the water. I’m pretty sure sulfur isn’t bad for your health unless it is in large quantities I mean MSM is a form of sulfur that people are talking about helping joint issues. However I am not a doctor so I’d do some research for yourself and see if it feels right for you. However I have been drinking it and have yet to have any ill effects.

  • Matthew

    Visited this spring the day after Thanksgiving…there is a pretty immense forest to explore around this spring. I was visiting family around holidays and as always look up a spring to visit. I was happy to find out that my sister and my brother in law are now filling up at this spring weekly.

    I checked the pH and it was 4.5. Should that be a concern since it’s quite acidic??

  • Anonymous

    I notice that the pH is not available for this spring; however, since limestone is mentioned on the descriptive site, my guess is the pH is above 7.0 or alkaline. Another guess is that alkaline pH could explain the “healing qualities” that are mentioned in the descriptive site.

  • Catlover201017

    WaterGenie, the pH is more like 4.5. If it were 7 or alkaline I would not have a concern with drinking this water, however, the acidic nature of this water concerns me.

  • SunkissedMoreil

    Crazy question I know, but would it be a good idea to run the water through my brita filter? Would it even make a difference?

    If you are having trouble finding Spoutn Spring it is 4.2 miles from the Ft. Dietrich entrance at the intersection of Rosemond and Old Farm. Just keep driving on Rosemond heading out of town. Rosemond will turn into Yellow Spring Road but it’s still the same road, just keep going. Before long you will be driving in the boondocks but there will still be a double yellow line in the middle of the road. The spring is about 30 meters BEFORE this double yellow line ends. The spring is on the right side of the road just a few feet from the road. There is a small pulloff exactly acroos from the spring.

    Just read the February 2011 articles about the cancer cluster around Ft. Detrich.  Hundreds of people have died because of the chemicals and poisons they put into the ground.  They latest research is 6 miles around Ft. Detrich.  The spring is only 4.3 miles from there.  I have asked several people who say that the spring comes from 100s of feet down, and it would be safe, but now I am wary of our beautiful water…. 

    May I have some feedback?
