Bladon Springs State Park, Mineral springs park in Choctaw County, United States.
Bladon Springs State Park contains four natural mineral springs rich in sulfur, iron, magnesium, and calcium spread across nearly 357 acres of land. The park offers campsites, walking paths, and direct access to the mineral-rich waters that form its core features.
The springs began operating as a health resort in 1838 when a large Greek Revival hotel was built to house wealthy visitors. A fire destroyed the main hotel building in 1938, ending the era of grand resort stays and transforming the location into a simpler recreation area.
The mineral waters drew people seeking health and renewal from across the region. Visitors still come to bathe in the springs and experience the quiet way the place connects them to the land.
The park has ten campsites with water, electricity, and sewage hookups available at reasonable daily rates for overnight stays. Day visitors can walk the paths and access the springs directly, though it is best to explore during daylight hours when the grounds are easiest to navigate.
One original spa pavilion still stands above the main spring, allowing visitors to access the same mineral waters that have drawn people for generations. This structure directly links the past of the place to how people experience it today.
