Janssen Park Spring -- Janssen Park, Mena AR - Natural Springs on Waymarking.com

A small but productive spring flows out of the ground, through a pipe and into a channel to fill a lake at Janssen Park in downtown Mena AR. The water is not potable (safe for humans to drink), but is fine for floating duck butts around on two lakes.
