  • A truly unique experience. And also quite extraordinary. The water is deep ( up to 45 feet) and incredibly crystal clear. A rather eerie green tint makes the viewing even more mesmerizing. Patrons board a large raft that is attached to ropes to guide it across the spring. The center of the raft has a large opening to look straight down into the water. Huge fish swim by and the water is visible gushing right out of the floor of the spring, some 40 feet down ( at a rate of 10,000 gallons per minute!). There's nothing else like it in Michigan's u.p. This is the source of the water for Indian Lake, which is one of the larger lakes in the upper.
  • Great State Park to visit. Beautiful, calm, small, lovely park, pet friendly, with very clear spring water. And very short walk to Spring water. Very quick raft ride but absolutely worth it. Highly recommended small state park to visit if you find yourself in Upper Peninsula.
