The only "geyser" in PA.. Centralia Big Mine Geyser

2 miles from Centralia is Pennsylvania's only "geyser". After heavy rains or during spring thaw, the water pressure from flooded mines below, cause this to erupt and spurt water up to 15' in the air. It was about 7-8' today. Super cool and you can park right there. It is called the Big Mine Geyser. More info and location coordinates here: uncoveringpa.c...

It's not a good idea if you try to drink the water. I've been told it's become acidic due to the contact it's had with the coal. Some have even say it smells like sulfur. The water has also picked up minerals from the mine, giving the ground it flows over a distinct rusty color to it.
