Directions from Nearest Address
This spring is super easy to find, it is right on Highway 89a between Flagstaff & Sedona.. you can pull right up to it in your vehicle! I will post the actual coordinates soon! It is a well frequented spot that locals have been going to for over 15 years and the spring is quite popular, even at night people were stopping to fill up bottles!
I’m looking for somebody who travels down to the valley from up north or goes up north from the valley to fetch water regularly and wouldn’t mind filling up an extra 5 gallon for me. Â I would be more than willing to pay you for your time and gas. Â I would love to be able to drink this water everyday, only I don’t have reliable transportation to get up there from the valley! Â You can reach me at HeartSayer@gmail.com Thanks! Â ~ Andrew
buddey of mine and i go to three different springs in Sedona area and bottle it up, including this pine flat spring! We’d be glad to work something out so you can drink spring water everyday! i work with Sedona Sweet Cider down here in the valley, so usually it’s a weekly trip we take to bottle up!

I would LOVE to be able to drink this water everyday. Â I was drinking high quality water for a good month including from this spring and I felt GREAT. Â Now I haven’t had access to good water for a few weeks and I’m starting feel groggy and tired.Â
I would definitely be making the trip up to the spring to fetch some of this delicious living water but unfortunately my little run down vehicle is too old for the journey.
I’m looking for a wonderful person who would be so kind to regularly fill up a 5 gallon container for me on their way down to the valley from Flagstaff/Sedona or somebody who goes up north and back.  I’m more than willing to contribute to the cost of gas.  I live in the Phoenix area.  Please email at HeartSayer@gmail.com
We go up once a month from Phoenix to fill up our eight 5-gallon water bottles. Â This is the best water ever. Â Almost bought a Kangen machine until we found this spring. Â The taste and quality is much better than Kangen water. We’ve been getting our water here for about a year and hope that it never goes away!
I know that they do a flush once a month with chlorine to treat it, I hope someone can find out and post exactly what day so I can best avoid it soon after! I have run into people who have been going to this spring for decades!
Hi… we are in Sedona… and came in from the 89a from Flagstaff however did not see it… can you give some more directions that we could find it… Much love and gratitude, DL
If you are coming from Flagstaff it is about 1 to 1.5 miles BEFORE cave springs campground. It will be on your right. From Sedona, pass cave springs, go about a mile and look on your left for the stone enclosure. It’s right next to the road. Loving the living water!
Anyone heard if this water has the same arsenic problems that the municipal water and ground wells in the area have? If not, that would make this a FANTASTIC find, since it’s delicious.
I just wanted to comment on the quality of this water. I stop to get it all the time whenever I'm heading through the canyon to Sedona, Cottonwood, or Cornville, and back. I'm lucky to live in Flagstaff, which is so close to this spring. Anyway, the water is the cleanest, freshest water, and feels like “live” water to me. In all the times I've stopped(at any hour of day or night, it was running. I know they do test the water, but if they've ever shut it off because of bacteria–it would be a very rare occasion. Keep an eye out for the rock encasement that the pipe comes out of, because it blends into the envirionment, and would be easy to pass if you weren't paying attention.

We get our water here all the time and it is delicious. However some folks we have met at the spring have told us that sometimes the water gets bacteria. So we put some drops of food grade h2o2 (35% hydrogen peroxide) in our filled containers and it purifies the water. About 20 drops per 5 gallons works without changing the taste.Â
Do you go there from Phoenix? Â I’m looking for somebody who visits this spring regularly who could collect some water for me in exchange for gas money. Â You can email me at HeartSayer@gmail.com
I used to go to this spring to get my water when I lived in Sedona back in ’08. The water tasted great, and of course psychologically it’s a nice feeling to think that you are getting pure water directly from a mountain’s interior. But I always thought it was ridiculous that people do not put some large flat stones into the puddle at the base of the spigot. Helloooo…Are people just supposed to stand in the water. It would make it *much* more convenient to locate or purchase a few large stones or bricks and set them in the puddle so people could stand comfortably in front of the spigot while filling their jugs, rather than constantly trying to maneuver around the puddle.
WARNING : This spring water is unfit for consumption.
This water is too high in minerals.
Now we will explain the question you’re all waiting for and that of course is how we know this information.
We perspire never. We get headaches never.
If we do it is because we have deviated from drinking Evian and or creek water.
We listen to our bodies and know if we perspire or have a headache we’re drinking water of which is not best for us.
I run all the time and am very active but do not perspire, after drinking this water for several days and being thrilled to find the water I’ve been having trouble with circulation and perspiration.
Either drink from the creek where the buildings are on the same road that say you’re not allowed to be here because we like to post a billion signs all over the place because we’re a bunch of pricks or buy Evian.
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.

Ecoli…. Arsenic….? Pvc….cadnium? These have shut this spring down in the past….just a note..
Can someone give me directions from Flagstaff. Thanks :o)
This is one of the rock star springs in my traveling arsenal. Super clean, pure, tasty – and will make you feel aLive!
Hi DL here… sorry didn’t see the more detailed information… so Pine Flats Campground… anyone been there recently?
Hi… we are in Sedona… and came in from the 89a from Flagstaff however did not see it… can you give some more directions that we could find it… Much love and gratitude, DL

I was there and got h2o on Thurs. 05-27, and it was open.
Went up there a couple of weeks ago, it was closed off. Does any one know if it's opened again?
I just wanted to comment on the quality of this water. I stop to get it all the time whenever I'm heading through the canyon to Sedona, Cottonwood, or Cornville, and back. I'm lucky to live in Flagstaff, which is so close to this spring. Anyway, the water is the cleanest, freshest water, and feels like “live” water to me. In all the times I've stopped(at any hour of day or night, it was running. I know they do test the water, but if they've ever shut it off because of bacteria–it would be a very rare occasion.

Two weeks ago, it was closed due to high level of e. coli, but I stopped tonight(Mon. 07-27-10), and it was open again!! Yea!
I just visited a couple days ago and collected 5 gallons. (Feb 2011)
I also did a TDS reading (about 90) and temp. measurement (about 40 degrees F).
Been enjoying it so far.
