💦 Natural spring water for everyone 💦
You can wade in West Virginia’s beautiful, natural warm springs at Berkeley Springs State Park, where clear mineral water bubbles through the heart of downtown at a steady 74.3 degrees all year long. The public springs are free to enter year-round, making it easy to slip off your shoes and cool your feet in water that has drawn visitors here for centuries. Native Americans were using the springs long before European settlers arrived, and 16-year-old George Washington stopped here with a surveying party in 1748 before returning many times later in life. Today, you can see a replica of the simple stone bathing spot connected to his visits. For a longer soak, the Old Roman and Main bathhouses offer private mineral baths, massages, saunas, and other spa treatments, with some bath water heated to 102 degrees. The springs produce about 2,000 gallons of clear water every minute. You can also visit the free museum upstairs in the Old Roman Bathhouse, open March through December, stroll the small park, or swim in the spring-fed outdoor pool during summer.
