Half of my family is from that area. My father told me about getting water from that spring. Wasn’t until I was an adult did I get to explore it myself. The lake at the park that it’s located has lots of fond memories, too. Thanks so much for sharing. Haven’t seen it in 30 years.

Beautiful spot with cool history

I grew up in Pittsburgh half my life, moved to the North Hills. I never heard of this until now. Thanks for sharing.

Most people don't even know it's there as it's off the road and not even labeled...there are some GREAT spots to see in North Park. Some really cool legends and stories and history there, plus it's really cool place. It has not been covered at least since 1990!

@JPVideos81 you can hardly see it in the summer, unless you really look closely.

What I like about your insight is your joy of sharing history and willing to extend your experance past the spiders,and of water their is unsafe to drink or wash with. SO EVERY BODY BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING,LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS TO DIE YOUNG.

I enjoyed this great adventure, Jay!!! Interesting place!!! Too bad the water isn't drinkable anymore!!! God bless you, keep you healthy and safe 🙏❤️🙏 ✝️⛪💚❤️🤍🎄☃️

Wow; the stonework is incredible! Loved the tour! It took guts to go into that crawl space with all of the spiders! Thanks for taking us along with you; much appreciated! …….🌝

Originally from Monroeville,my grandfather used to talk about the fountain of youth,id ask where, he'd say in the Hill's.. didn't know it really existed.lol..im 50 now im looking for time machine... great video!!

"Freaken awesome " I agree. Thanks Jay, for sharing this gem with us. Central California watching

Thanks for another awesome adventure Jason👍👍

Imagine stumbling across this in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It would seriously baffle the shit out of you. The spiders would be mutated, of course.

Grew up here at North Park. Such a beautiful area and so much to do. A lot of great nature trails. Still visit it about once a week. The Wildwood Mine once adjoined the park, but only a few remnants remain. It was the scene of some violent worker/owner/law enforcement uprisings. It was also a great source for watching trains. Thanks for sharing. 💙

Loved the beautiful stonework ...real craftsmanship... I enoy seeing an occasional Daddy Long Legs ...but not by the 100s LOL...I iimagine it is really pretty there in the springtime. ..Can just see families having picnics in days gone by ..Love the music you chose ...Thank you for sharing another fun adventure ! 👍💙

yes, DLL, not spiders

Awww thousands of harmless Daddy long legs Spider's, mans best friend because they kill mozzies and other poisonous Spider's, yet the DLL spider has the most poisonous bite of any spider, but can't pierce human skin. Beautiful cave and construction of a by-gone era.😊

I miss Pennsylvania so much it was so very pretty , we lived in butler

Beautiful stone work! Such a cool find! It's too bad the water is no longer drinkable. But the architecture & history make it well worth visiting. I'm glad you don't mind spiders, so we got a view of the inside, too. I like the white, heart-shaped stone on the floor toward the center back. The water sound was nice, too. Loved the photo montage! Great video!💙

Glad you told me about this little piece of architecture hidden away. The stonework and brickwork are so beautifully done with such craftsmanship and attention to detail. That many spiders really creeped me out tho. So glad I have you to explore these places for me..

Awesome explore as always you go above and beyond always worth the watch stay safe and . Merry Christmas to you and your family

Amazing roadside find and such beautiful stonework and a sweet little creek. Interesting history too. Love the unique circular Fountain of Youth stone sign. You are right, it took some intricate work to arrange and insert all the small stones around the sign. The place for sure does have that Romanesque feeling to it and the landscape all around it is beautiful. I might venture into that back cave because Daddy Long Legs are the only spider I don't mind, although I have never seen that many in one place ever. lol The step spillway is also remarkable and love the stonework of that too. Great video JP, thank you! 💙

These were all over Western Pennsylvania. The ones in the more urbanized areas have all fallen into disuse. If you venture east by southeast of Pittsburgh into the Laurel Highlands, you'll find springs still being used by the locals.

It isn’t slippery, it’s “slippy”. You are in Pittsburgh, after all. My grandfather and his father worked on WPA projects in the Beaver area, so I doubt they worked on this, but it’s interesting to see stonework from that time.

Beautiful spot. I live about ten miles from one of the places that Ponce de Leon landed in Florida, and some of the local springs are thought to perhaps, maybe be the so-called "real" fountain of youth. Truth is that it's a myth, but it's fun local lore. Florida's springs are incredible places with or without the legends and I highly recommend visiting one of more if you're ever in this area.

Hello from Scranton Pennsylvania

cool little find that was, must have been thriving in the 1930s - at least those spiders wernt the big black ones, nice one jp

😎👍 There are many neat places to see in North Park, there are Mt.Bike trails above this location that were horse trails way back throughout the park.

Sweet find! Really pisses me off when they graffiti the hell out of such a nice landmark.

There is another one on Route 68 between Zelienople and Evans City; it's called Minetta Spring. The door is sealed though, I believe.

A glamorized sewer runoff with a fancy exit.

That cutout/spillway on that creek structure is probably a remnant or part of what is known as a Stream Gaging Station. Use to measure water flow, levels, temp, and other characteristics of the stream. USGS might have info on it.

Those are Daddy Long Legs spiders - totally harmless

Fantastic! I grew up close to it!! My parents talked of this place. Really neat I think back in the 50s they got water from there, not sure. I'll take spiders over rats ! Lol

This is great!!!! I got so excited that maybe you did find the Fountain Of Youth and you brought me back a rock or water so I could maybe rub it on my body to get rid of the wrinkles. Oh well, I’m still looking. Lolol. 🤗💙good try though. Keep me in mind in the future.

Knowing Allegheny County as well as I do, I bet that water hasn't been tested since the 70s.

The spiders look like Daddy Long Legs and they are poisonous. But they can not bite you unless you have a cut or sore. They eat mosquitos and jiggers.

Amazing, find JP, im just thinking, where does the water flowing into the fountain come from? It looks like from downhill, through the ground.

🤣 can't go wrong with the Armour.

What a wonderful video. Was the spring water actually safe to drink without boiling it first when the Fountain of Youth was built in the late 1930's? While I'm not afraid of spiders either, I'd probably carry a Raid multi-insect control aerosol spray with me and spray those pesky spiders that are clustered together to at least wipe out many of them. Just my thoughts.

Ya, those looked like harvestman, or as you mentioned more commonly known as "daddy-longlegs." So not actually spiders, though still from a different family of arachnids.

Have you ever visited Sybil's Cave in Hoboken NJ?

Daddy Longlegs are the most poisonous of spiders! Luckily, their fangs can't penetrate our skin.

I wouldn't go back there, even though those are daddy long-legs, I hate them almost as much as real spiders. Still very cool.

I'd be looking out for snakes if there in warm weather. Did they say where the bacteria contamination came from? It don't look like there's any local septic systems nearby? Is it down stream from a cattle farm?

Spiders don’t bother me. Too bad the kids sprayed it up. It’s a neat piece of depression era history. Nice natural spring.

It’s too bad that these WPA projects are left to decay. I think someone should take this over and restore it maybe make a little park. However, I’m not saying drink the water.

These days they can put a filter on it. And let people get The water still. All they have dues maintained the filter

Jp those are granddaddy long legs not spiders....😊

Technically those are not Spiders

Spiders...EEK.

Don't get why people have to tag everything especially historic items. Disgust me. But anyway a cool find.

Take a sample of that water in and get it tested…
