Berkeley Springs State Park

Berkeley Springs State Park features five major natural springs that produce 2,000 gallons of mineral water per minute at a constant temperature of 74 degrees.

George Washington visited these healing springs in 1748 during his surveying expedition, leading to the establishment of the town of Bath in 1776.

The Museum of Berkeley Springs, located on the second floor of the bathhouse, displays historical artifacts related to the springs and local community.

The park offers nine separate bathing chambers with large tubs that hold 750 gallons of water heated to 102 degrees for public use throughout the year.

A population of South American guppies lives in the warm spring waters since the 1940s, surviving due to the constant water temperature.
