Potomac Overlook Regional Park in Arlington in Arlington County, Virginia — The American South (Mid-Atlantic)
The Indian Spring
This natural spring was referred to as the "Indian Spring" by local farmers in the early 1900's who found arrowheads and other artifacts left behind by the land's former occupants.
Today, many springs in Arlington have gone dry as the natural cover has been cleared and the water table lowered. The Indian Spring at Potomac Overlook, however, continues to flow year round.
