Description
The spring emerges in the back corner of a spring house that was used for generations of farmers. Once out of the house, it continues to create the spectacular Stephens’ Falls nearby. The area gets a lot of foot traffic because of the falls and one will have to be creative in order to fill large bottles. Gov. Dodge also contains two other spring houses, but the Stephens’ Falls spring is the most accessible, clean, and active.
The park does caution in a brochure: “although it looks tempting, we advise you to refrain from sampling the water.” The other two springs aren’t tempting anyway, but you may not be able to resist the temptation at Stephens’.
