Coldwater Spring is located on the former Bureau of Mines property, maintained by the National Park Service. The grounds are open to the public from 7 AM to 3 PM, Monday through Friday, except holidays.

From T.H. 55: Turn east at the 54th Street light and then quickly turn south on the new frontage road. Proceed one block to the Bureau of Mines front gate. Go through the gate and continue heading south one more block. Watch for the Historical Marker sign and the pond on the right. Park and explore. The spring flows from the base of the flagstone structure in the NW corner of the pond, just past the beautiful willow tree on the right. Welcome to the core of the Camp Coldwater Area.

Welcome to the birthplace of Minnesota.
