Every spring in Manitou runs through different rock, so every one tastes a little different. Bring a cup and go mild to bold:
1. Seven Minute Spring: the mildest and least fizzy. An easy first sip, with a gazebo garden to sit in.
2. Twin Spring (Ruxton Ave): the longtime local favorite. Crisp and fizzy with a little bite at the end.
3. Stratton Spring (Manitou & Ruxton): the bubbliest water in town. Look for the bronze sculpture.
4. Navajo Spring: pleasantly fizzy, and the spring that first made Manitou famous.
5. Cheyenne Spring: a few steps from Navajo. Fuller and bubblier.
6. Wheeler Spring (behind the post office): salty, a little like baking soda.
7. Shoshone Spring: the warmest of the eight and one of the most mineral-heavy. An acquired taste.
8. Iron Spring (top of Ruxton Ave): save it for last. Big iron flavor. You’ll either love it or laugh, but either way you’ll be able to say you did them all!
Good to know: the springs are tested regularly, and they aren’t recommended for babies.
Save this for your Manitou trip 💧
