This one has nothing to do with the elk and it is much closer to home. It is only about 10 miles from here and just off the highway. This is an artesian well that flows with great tasting, extremely cold water all year long. Many people stop here to fill jugs and bottles with water. This well isn’t regulated by the state and there are signs to that effect, however, the water is fresh spring water free of chlorine or fluorine.
From here, the water flows under the highway and down through a field, before flowing into the Clark Fork River, about an eighth-mile to the right. This well is located about a mile and a half from the town of Paradise, Montana. Paradise is even smaller than our town, but the railroad goes right beside the town and in its heyday, it was probably a thriving and busy community. It is less so now because there aren’t many businesses, other than ranching and the railroad.
The artesian well remains.
How wonderful. We have one about an hour away from us. Best tasting water ever.
A lot of people stop there to get water, even if they have wells.
That is so cool. We used to have a similar spring that my Grandmother would stop at and get spring water. Great memory.
We love the taste of the water.
