## About Paso Robles Artesian Spring

An artesian spring at soaking temperature, San Luis Obispo County, a few miles outside Paso Robles. It sits less than a hundred feet off North River Road, which leaves nothing you could call a walk. Ownership and access status are both unrecorded, so treat it as a spring of unknown standing until you learn otherwise.

Low rolling country at under a thousand feet, with mild winters and dry summers. No snow. North River Road runs right past. Nothing on file names an owner or a land unit, and there is no designation, so it may well be private. No fee is recorded and no bath type.

Winter is what the record recommends, and the wet season here is short. For camping, Cerro Alto Campground is on file at roughly sixteen miles. The water is pleasant and safe. Check who owns the ground before you get out of the car; access is unrecorded.
