About this spot

Weikel Water Well

The Weikel Water Well is located in the Piute Wash watershed of California, and it is a historic site that provides a glimpse into the state's past. The well was built in the late 1800s by the Weikel family to provide water for their cattle ranch. Today, the well is not in use, but it remains a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can see the original hand pump and windmill that were used to draw water from the well, as well as a small museum that houses historic artifacts and photographs.

One of the main reasons to visit the Weikel Water Well is to learn about the history of early ranching and the challenges of living in a remote desert environment. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area and enjoy the natural beauty of the Piute Wash watershed. The area is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, and various species of birds. The Weikel Water Well is a unique and fascinating destination that offers a glimpse into California's pioneering past.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
