Whether you are looking for a way to simply enjoy a relaxing end of a day or have finished hiking a stretch of the nearby Appalachian Trail, you can soak in the natural hot mineral waters in Hot Springs, NC, at the Hot Springs Resort and Spa. The clear carbonated waters are world famous for their mineral content and legendary healing powers. And, the process has been upgraded to 21st century standards as the waters fill modern outdoor Jacuzzi type hot tubs that are drained and sanitized after each use. Sit in one of the secluded outdoor tubs and look out over the beautiful setting of the French Broad River or Spring Creek.
