This artesian well is bubbling to the surface under the pressure of the underlying aquifer. This artesian well is listed in the 2006 Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area Management Plan as a cultural resource in and near the Minnesota River valley that needs protection.

Hiking

You have to watch carefully to spot this highlight. There is no signage. It is about 10 feet to the north of the trail. Once you see it, you will know you have found it. The water is bubbling out of a large bore pipe.
