Lebanon Spring is a tepid source filed under New York, in Berkshire County, with Richmond recorded as the nearest town, zero miles away. The water is cooler than a bath, well below body heat. The record lists no owner and no access status. Water chemistry: none on file. There is a photograph.
Spring Hill Road runs within about fifty feet of the source, so the approach is roadside. Elevation is low, under seven hundred feet, a different world from the desert springs that fill most of this database. The climate is wet, nearly fifty inches of precipitation a year, and winters bring close to five feet of snow. Nothing is recorded for land unit or designation, and no campground is listed.
The record flags midwinter, an odd choice for water this cool, and there will be serious snow then. Roadside access. No owner is on file, so look for signs. No camping is listed. Test the temperature before getting in, and expect wet ground most of the year.
Aircraft with laser scanners measured this ground to within inches. The scan strips out trees and buildings, leaving the bare shape of the land around Lebanon Spring.

Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
