Beautiful quiet place. Everyone is very respectful of the area and there is no litter anywhere. You can usually find someone selling fresh vegetables. There are several spots to fill jugs at. Definitely talk to the locals to hear all kinds of stories. Please be mindful of what the area means to people..IE watch your language no loud music dont litter...No matter what your religious beliefs are remember this is a sacred place

Beautiful and serene place for the best tasting water in Carolina! Tastes very crisp and clean. I am sure it has minerals just like all natural water does, but it reminds me of country well water, like my grandma's well provided. Awesome!

It was my first time going. The drive was peaceful. The people were friendly and some shared interesting stories about their experience drinking the water. The water is clear, clean and refreshing. I will definitely be returning.

Doe This Water Really Work And Heal People From Injuries And Sickness Was It Blessing From The Heaven For The Indians For Man I Would Love Have Some Of It

J. H. | Apr 10, 2018

Local lore states that it does, however all healing comes from the Creator not the creation. Have faith in keeping his laws, statues, and commandments first, then the Most High can work a miracle in your life thru any means even your own tap water! Beloved the water is mighty fine, the Almighty is finest.

Anyone ever tried getting healing here from epilepsy? My boyfriend is suffering from it and I would like to take him here. No answers from his doctors so far. Worth a try to take him here?

Megan Lasley | Apr 8, 2021
Eagle Fan | Apr 9, 2021

It couldn't hurt to try its great water I've suffered from back pain for over 7 years and I've been getting water there for a month now. There's been some changes in my pain I believe its because of less alkaline in the water its self which can cause inflammation in the joints. If you go early Sunday mornings is the best time. There can be long lines there . Goodluck I hope it helps.

How much water is allowed

Dorothy Brown | Apr 9, 2019
Capt Jack Sparrow | Apr 10, 2019

Remember water is heavy. 8lbs per gallon. 40lbs for a 5 gollon plastic jug. I can carry 27 - 5 gal jugs in my 4Runner. Thats over 1000+ lbs of water. Your vehicle's will drive differently with that much water weight inside it. Sharp turns and breaking fast can lead to loss of control. Be safe and plan accordingly for the weight. You can order 5-gal jugs online and buy enough for free shipping right to your house.i have talked to a local about the water. He said that only once in 10 years has he seen the water stop flowing which was during a very dry summer in July.
