The property across from the resort has many springs of different mineral content. The Crystal Spring & Black Spring is piped to the roadside across the road from the resort to the right across from the Golf Pavillon. It is easily accessible and easy to fill water bottles.

Love this place. Excellent water. 25 cents/gallon. Pay inside at the restaurant at the kitchen bar. Water report pamphlet/information is available if you ask.
We just went today and filled up 25 gallons of water. Very nice place. The young man that was working was super nice and very polite. Will be going back there many more times. And to confirm, it is .25 cents a gallon. Stop at a beer supply store and get 5 gallon carboys, they work great.
TDS / PPM 218. it’s 30 cents per gallon. Water is about 45 degrees. There is a golf course 1 mile down the road from the spring. They give you a pamphlet that tells you exactly what’s in the water.
My husband and I have been purchasing about 15 gallons a week for the past 10 or so years. If we see our grandchildren and/or children during the week, we must always go to get more water very soon because all of them bring containers to take water home with them. We always use one gallon glass containers and have never seen any sediment. There is no golf course across the street—check it out on the aerial view map. We have never had a problem with the mployees.
I took my wife and 4 children to this spring last Saturday, June 20, 2015. I was immediately greeted by a worker at the club who stated that it is a private club. I told him I understood, and that we had just come to get some of the spring water. He kindly directed me to the cafe/restaurant, where I purchased 10 jugs. We then drove for ten seconds, got out of the van, and filled our jugs. We took some photos. It really is a beautiful spot. The water is wonderful, I highly recommend it. Just try not to be offended by the staff at the trout club. They’re just trying to do their job. Remember, it IS a private club. And the ladies working at the cafe/restaurant were very busy but very nice when we purchased the jugs. The jugs are $1.00 each, which includes the water charge. Otherwise, the water is 30 cents per gallon.
My ph test read 8. I enjoy this water though I do get sediment sometimes. When I transfer from plastic to a glass dispenser and refill that dispenser a couple of times, the gritty sediment is stuck to the bottom of my glass container and sometimes I do have a brown sediment. I mentioned it to an owner and he seemed to not know or have experienced what I do and he offered me the test results. I’m not saying it’s unhealthy, I’m just saying that there are particles that settle and I don’t know their makeup.
My first visit to get water! I went on Tuesday, March 25, 2014. I had several jugs, but bought a few more. One gallon jugs are now $1.00 each. That includes the water.
Water is perfectly clear and wonderful. I’m hoping to make a regular trip there to get all of our drinking water. Now I want to find a way to carry home enough to bathe in it!
Most of staff is nice. The elderly woman (who I assume owns the property) is NOT nice. She drives her SUV around and blasts her car horn at everyone. I am going to assume some dementia is in play as her behavior is very anti-social. So annoying when you are enjoying the lovely scenery. But water is great and good price.
Drinking pure spring water is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Our bodies are over 99% water at the molecular level, so water affects every aspect of our biology. Yet, not all water is created equal. Almost all the bottled spring water available is pasteurized for shelf stability, which neutralizes many of the powerful health benefits such as increased hydrogen, healthy probiotics, and crystalline structure. For more about why unprocessed spring water is the best water to drink, read this.
The best way to guarantee you are getting real unprocessed spring water is to collect it yourself. This is a short and simple guide filled with information about how to gather spring water. We will cover how to find a spring, how to collect the water, how to honor the spring, how to store the water properly and other tips.
FindASpring.org is the best resource for locating a spring near you. However, not all springs are on the map. First, check the map to see if there is a spring in your local area. If there is, look at the reviews and comments. Has anyone shared helpful information about flow rate or posted a water test result? Is the spring in a pristine area? Do a bit of research and make sure the spring is safe to drink from. If you have any doubt about the purity, don’t risk it and get a water test, HERE. If you don’t see a spring on the map in your area, there still might be some that aren’t listed yet. First, ask the older generation who have lived in your area a long time if they know. You can also ask people in your community who might already get spring water such as people at a health food store or at a farmers market. Another great option is to view A US forest service map, where many springs have been marked. You can view these maps through the Gaia GPS or All Trails hiking apps on your phone. The map overlay you want is USGS Topo. Not all are easily accessible or ideal for drinking, but some are and it can be a fun adventure to find them. We have found over half a dozen great springs this way.
Once you’ve found your spring, figure out how you are going to gather the water. Is it right on the side of the road and easy to access or do you have to hike to it? We recommend storing spring water in glass instead of plastic to preserve the purity of the water. It is better for the environment, your body, and the water. Even BPA free plastic has toxic chemicals that can leach into water and cause health issues. If you do want to use plastic for safety reasons when filling at the spring, we recommend transferring the water to glass as soon as possible. FindASpring is sponsored by Alive Waters, which offers beautiful reusable glass. They have a 2.5 gallon option, which is a convenient size for carrying that isn’t too heavy. They also sell handles that you can use to transport the jugs even more easily. If you have to hike to access the spring, we recommend putting the water jugs into an extra large backpack to hike the water out with ease. We use Osprey packs that hold 2 jugs each. You can also use a wheelbarrow or even a stroller depending on how easy a walk it is.

When you get to the spring, remember to first give back before you take. Springs are considered sacred in indigenous cultures around the world for their life giving water and also as a connection to the inner earth. A powerful and simple way to give back is to clean up. Is there any trash that needs to be collected? Could you move any dead leaves or sticks to improve the flow rate? Show up in service. Some other wonderful ways to give is with a moment of expressing verbal gratitude, singing songs to the water, offering the water an ethically sourced crystal, a feather, or some other physical gift. Flowers are a popular and beautiful thing to offer, but please be careful to source organic ones as most flowers from the store are sprayed with pesticides and can be toxic to put near a spring. Also, flowers can attract bugs as they decay, so it can be best to offer them to the flowing water directly or a little downstream from the spring head.
When gathering the water, fill the jug as close to the spring head as possible, never gather downstream. Be very careful as wet glass is extremely slippery. Make sure the lid is securely fastened. When transporting the spring water home, the jugs can sometimes slide around the car. Secure them in place or wrap them with towels or something so they don’t crash into each other.
How you store your spring water is essential. It is not pasteurized like spring water from the store, so it will start growing algae if left in direct sunlight. This is good because it means it’s alive! If the water you drink can’t even support the most basic life forms, how do you think it will support your body? Store your water in a cool, dark place such as a dark corner, pantry or closet. The fridge is ideal if you have room. Some people prefer to filter their water through a Berkey filter before drinking, but if the spring is pure, it’s not necessary. We drink our spring water completely unfiltered.
How long the water stays good for depends on how cold a temperature it’s stored at. Spring water is best fresh. We personally do not prefer to drink spring water past 2 weeks old. However, we know other people that will drink it at a month old. It’s great to get in a rhythm where you know how long the water lasts you and put your collection day on the calendar in advance.
I believe that water is calling us to reconnect with her in the deepest way, to gather our own water. Just like our ancestors did. Our ancestors didn’t have fancy water machines. They also didn’t create villages or settle where there was no water. Water was revered as the center of the community and the nodal point around which life could spiral out and take root.
Here’s to restoring the sacred connection with the waters of life.

I clicked on the link to the club website today (Dec. 11, 2012) and got “Error 404–not found”.
I have never had an employee be rude to me when I come to get my water. They are always most gracious as I pay for the water.
Yes it’s .25 a gallon and it’s on a private fishing club. The employees are rudeto you if you’re not a member
this needs a correction. It’s $0.25 per gallon.
Winter 2010 Open Saturday and Sunday
There is a charge of $.25 per gallon.
You can purchase gallon jugs for $.25.
Best Water around! Plenty of fill options/spickets. Is 40 cents a Gallon now. Well worth it!

If its right across the street from a golf course do you not worry about all the chemicals used on a golf course??
There is no golf course across the street from the spring; at least not one that I could see.

What does their water report say? I haven’t asked for it yet but was just wondering.
Water is now $.30 per gallon. Price increase as of Jan, 2015.
We’ve collected water many times and have never experienced sediment. Nice clear, yummy water.
Have chatted with the elderly lady (owner) and she is a sweetheart. Staff has been pleasant at each of many visits.
Beautiful place. Great water. Well worth a 1hr drive once a month or so.

What a great find!
Has anyone ever measured the TDS or PH of this water?

I am going to assume some dementia is in play as her behavior is very anti-social. So annoying when you are enjoying the lovely scenery. But water is great and good price.
