For other places with the same name, see Orangeville.

Orangeville Rise is the second largest spring in the U.S. state of Indiana, located on private property in Orange County near Orangeville. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in June 1972. Contrary to popular belief, the spring is not a rise of the Lost River[citation needed] which actually surfaces approximately 2 miles south of Orangeville. Water emerging at Orangeville Rise comes from approximately 48 square miles of the highly karstified Mitchell Plain to the northeast. The spring fluctuates wildly in response to drought and rain events, with storm discharge appearing less than 24 hours following an event.
