Rise at Orangeville

Rise at Orangeville

Orangeville Rise is the second largest spring in the U.S. state of Indiana, in Orange County near Orangeville. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in June 1972. Contrary to popular belief, the spring is not a rise of the Lost RiverFact|date=March 2008 which actually surfaces approximately 2 miles south of Orangeville. Water emerging at Orangeville Rise comes from approximately 48 square miles of the highly karstified Mitchell Plain to the northeast. The spring fluctuates wildly in response to drought and rain events, with storm discharge appearing less than 24 hours following an event.

Although Orangeville Rise is located on private property, it can easily be viewed from the road.
