See Pumpkin Spring, Colorado River, Arizona
At mile 212.9 down the Coloado River is a unusual formation is known as Pumpkin Spring. The bowl looks like the sides of a gigantic pumpkin.
It might look like an inviting place for a soak, but in reality, contains the most poisonous water in the canyon. While the pool may appear to be full of mineral-rich, hot springs goodness, and the pumpkin-shaped bowl seems hypnotically inviting, the warm waters are a witch’s brew of lead, zinc, copper, and very high levels of arsenic. One liter of water from Pumpkin Springs contains 1100 milligrams of the infamous toxin, so bathing in the water is not suggested, and drinking it is strictly prohibited, as well as extremely foolish.
