He once lamented : “ Ability to wish is present with me , but ability to work out what is fine is not present . ” Okay so I just got back from there and found it on a wim! From Asheville you can take the blue ridge parkway North until you get into The Pisgah National Forest. From there 428 South is not marked until you’re on it. If you find it you drive all the way down the windy dirt road very far past a few camp spots and keep a lookout on your left for a pvc pipe sticking out of the woods… OR you can take 70 North through Old Fort and turn left into Curtis Creek Campground. Drive about 7 or 8 miles up the road and the spring is on your right… The water looks and tastes great as mr. maximus said and the area is beautiful!
