Bladon Springs State Park, Mineral springs park in Choctaw County, United States.
Bladon Springs State Park is a state park in western Alabama built around four natural mineral springs containing sulfur, iron, magnesium, and calcium. The grounds include campsites, walking paths, and direct access to the springs themselves.
The site opened as a health resort in 1838 with a large Greek Revival hotel built to welcome visitors from across the region. A fire in 1938 destroyed the main hotel building, and the land was eventually converted into a public state park.
The springs have long drawn people from across the region who came looking for relief and rest. Today visitors still come to bathe in the mineral waters, giving the place a quiet sense of continuity with its past.
The park welcomes both day visitors and overnight campers, with hookup sites available for those who want to stay longer. Arriving during daylight makes it easier to find the springs and follow the walking paths through the grounds.
One original spa pavilion from the resort era still stands over the main spring, making it one of the few surviving structures from before the 1938 fire. Visitors can step inside and access the same water source that guests used when the place was a full resort.
