Overview

Rain Garden Springs is a natural spring in Michigan, a place where cool, clear groundwater rises to the surface. Springs feed many of the state's trout streams and inland lakes, holding a steady temperature year-round that keeps water flowing even through summer heat and winter freeze. Some are gentle seeps in the forest floor; others bubble up strongly enough to form their own pools and creeks.

Spring sites can be tucked away on public or private land, with primitive or unmarked access, so confirm trails and ownership before visiting. While the water looks pristine, untreated spring water is not guaranteed safe to drink. See related places for the streams, lakes and trails nearby.
