New Off Grid Property Owner Outhouse Question

New Off Grid Property Owner Outhouse Question

The road the property is on...

The hole I dug...

My family picked up a property that I met all of my expectations. We went up in early May and I was beginning to prep an area for an outhouse. We built a rock trail (not pictured) for a couple hours and I decided to start digging the hole for the outhouse knowing I would be up in a few weeks.

Long story short, I dug about 2 feet town and the hole started filling with water. I there anything I can do other than select a new location? My property is a flat area on a steep hill that leads down to a river. The area I chose was my ideal location but might be the lowest part of our flattened area.

Also, is this a good thing? Can I do a sand point well or something in this location?

Any guidance is appreciated as I am new to this and have only been researching online to varied results.
