Little mountain, if it's only 300 or so metres.

At the end of a chain, or all alone in the middle of a plain?

The funny thing is, I know an example of that which is working perfectly well without any supernatural intervention; in fact, most of the year, it sprays out less than fifty metres from the summit like a garden hose, arcing over the slope below. Of course, it's backed up by a fair extent of high mountain (and here we're talking 2000-3000 metres) but from ground level you can't see this, and the effect is fairly spectacular.
If you want to put it in the middle of a plain, you can still manage without your deity needing to cheat, but it gets more complicated. All you really require is that somewhere be mountains considerably taller than your sacred one, and rainfall.

Google pisse vache photo (Martigny) (yes, it does mean what you think)
