A lesser known lower pH and better tasting spring next to the common one on County Road W.
Nearest Address
5188 Pine Road New London, WI
Directions from Nearest Address
Take Highway HH West from County Road W stay on it as it curves left and becomes pine road, it will be on your left side with the spout coming from a pile of rocks.
Hello All,
I am very familiar with this property. The correct address is: N1588 County Hwy HH New London, WI 54961. You might also find it under N1588 County “Road” HH New London, WI and the property has also come up under Fremont, WI instead of New London, WI.
The well is located approx. 25 miles west of Appleton in Waupaca County, in the Township of Caledonia, NW of Readfield on the East side of Hwy HH, between Gruetzmacher Rd and Pines Rd. The water pipe protrudes from a limestone cairn that is beneath a large, weeping willow tree. Enjoy the water, compliments of Mother Nature! Please keep the area clean and control children and pets!
Note: It would be safer overall to “back” into the driveway, rather than park on the highway!
This address is incorrect. It is PINE*S* with an “S” road. PINES road. There is a Pine street in New London which will send a mapquester on the other side of New London, almost a half hour away from the spring.
My comment is the water is very good and easy accessable for handicapped people. One thing is the nearest address is wrong It’s 1588 Pine rd. not 5188 pine rd. like you have on this website. This driveway is 40 ft. from the spring.
We went out there yesterday and couldn’t find it. I have been searching maps. Is it possible it is covered by snow? Can anyone tell me if the directions are exact? Help!
i TAKE HWY 41 tURN OFF ON 441 IN MENASHA IT GOES WEST ON HWY 10, tAKE THAT ALL THE WAY TO HWY 45 NORTH TURNING RIGHT AND GO TOWARD nEW lONDON, NOT FAR FROM TURNING TOWARD nEW LONDON YOU WILL RUN INTO CNTY. RD. W. TURN LEFT ONTO W AND GO THROUGH REDFIELD WHICH IS A LITTLE WAYS. tHEN TAKE A LEFT ON HH, IT WILL CURVE LEFT NOT FAR AND IT’S ABOUT 20 FEET OFF THE ROAD UNDER A BIG OAK TREE WITH A WOODEN BENCH BY IT. I WAS JUST THERE DEC 10, 2011. THE ADDRESS IS WRONG ON THE WEBSITE THOUGH IT’S 1588 NOT 5188 PINE RD.

We’re from Green Bay also, but use to live in Milwaukee over eleven years ago. There was a spring on the South Side that had a spring too, running freely. Now as I understand it was closed to the public. Why I do not know. But here is a place for us to go and get good water now.
The address is actually Pines Rd with an S — that makes all the difference because there is actually a Pine Rd in New London as well. It’s also N1588, not just 1588. BUT if they’re NOT using the GPS coordinates, which are very accurate and should be used if possible, they should enter the address of N1588 Cty Hwy HH, New London WI 54961, in their navigation device.

Just visited this spring 9/11/2018 unfortunately the water tastes like metal and has a sulfur smell when you put it in containers 🙁 wouldn’t recommended drinking from this spring at this time.
Does anyone know the current status on this spring? Is it potable? The previous comments questioned that a bit, so just wondering if anyone got around to testing it lately?
Just went out there and found it easily. Grabbed a cup full and tested it with my strips I use to test my water at home. Other than it being hard, everything was normal. It’s clear and no odor.
ATTENTION: There are 2 public springs in New London, WI. One spring is located at N1588 PINES Rd / Cty Hwy/Rd HH (read Mel’s info below) & the other is located at a bridge by the intersection of Manske Rd & Cty Hwy/Rd W. I was at the ‘W’ spring on 7/18/17 & the water tastes great with a TDS of 158. The GPM flow is fast so I filled 36 gal jugs very quickly. I will go to the ‘N1588’ spring next time to compare them.
Anyone find out about this spring yet? I’m interested in finding out if its good or not. The fertilizer worries me a bit as does the sulfur smell someone posted.
Going out there today. Will let you know later… im bringing my API water test kit. it’s for aquariums but it will give me levels of ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, ph, alkalinity, chlorine, hardness
I’m very curious what the results from your API water test kit was. If you’re around to share anything you remember, that would be great! Also, any updates from others who have gone here recently on water quality would be appreciated. Thanks!
Today (7/18/17) I was at the public spring located on County W at a bridge very close to the intersection of Manske Rd. This is not the spring at N1588 CTY Rd HH/PINES Rd. which is in the video. If you search ‘Manske Rd + CTY W New London, WI’ you can find directions to exactly where it is located. The water tastes great (IMO). The flow is wide & strong so it did not take me long to fill 36 gallon jugs. I had planned to go to the spring at N1588 CTY Rd HH but a New London resident only knew where the CTY W spring was so I went there instead. It is located at a very peaceful place out in the country with butterflies drinking from the spilled water & it was not crowded. There were no waiting lines but there was an infrequent slow pace of people getting water.
I finally found this spring today not an easy task. I have no idea what the correct address is but OnStar kind of got me there using n1588 pines rd. and zip code 54940 which is Fremont but the property is Caledonia. So when I got home I found it on Google maps. The GPS Coordinates are:
44°17’47.6″N 88°47’58.8″W
44.296560, -88.799665
these will get you right there. Hope this helps someone.
Hello,
Just curious if anyone has recently gotten water here, if it’s been tested?
I would also be willing to help pay for testing if that is still an option.
Today I was at the other New London spring located at County W & Manske Rd at the bridge. The water from this spring tastes great & it is much more beneficial to my body than the bottled water that I have been buying over the decades. I have been drinking this fresh spring water for only 6 hours & I already feel better with less irritability & have a more peaceful feeling with increased stamina & positive energy. Intense irritability & strong negative energy were a couple of my health problems but I was blaming it on old age. The natural magnesium in this spring water has calmed me down greatly. If I could afford to have an expensive thorough lab test done on this water I would do it. I did do a TDS meter test on it which read 158. There was a sign above the spring source that said the Arsenic levels were within acceptable government standards.
I wanted to get the water tested since its sitting in the middle of a lot of farmland. Slightly worried about fertilizer, specifically nitrates leaking in and possibly other contaminates. But its fairly costly. Still looking around for the best company to test as well so let me know if you’d like to pool in and get it tested! Then we can post the results here.
Took a drive to get some about 3 days ago. The water is cold and definitely carries a taste of cleanness. This will now be my number 1 spot for getting quality water from now on! Thanks to the person/people that got this spring water going!
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.
Filling 2.5 Gallon Alive Waters Jug
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.

Just drove out there today Stevens Point! Took a little bit to find it since the spring isn’t on pines road but on HH. Super cold and tastes great!

I just drove out from Green Bay 50 miles to check this out. Water tastes great! Thank you for making this available

Anyone know what’s going on? This spring was taped off with no signs.
What’s up with this spring? I went today and it was all taped off. Did the water go bad or are property owners not wanting anyone there now?
Has anyone tested this spring water? With the nearby farms it’s a concern for safety. I’d like to find out before I make the trip. Thank you!
