Hot Springs, Natural thermal springs in Madison County, North Carolina
The thermal springs maintain a constant temperature and contain minerals that flow through the geological formations of Madison County's mountains.
The discovery of these springs in 1828 initiated the development of a settlement that became a destination for travelers seeking thermal water treatments.
Native American tribes utilized these waters for ceremonies and healing practices before European settlers established permanent structures near the springs.
Visitors access the mineral waters through designated facilities that provide supervised soaking sessions and maintain specific temperature control measures.
Located at 406 meters elevation, these springs represent the only natural thermal water source in North Carolina's mountain region.
