Warm Springs Pools (Jefferson Pools)
Two historic wooden bathhouses in Warm Springs built over spring pools that stay at about 98-99°F, owned and run by the Omni Homestead about five miles from the resort. Soaks are 50 minutes and booked on the hour, with set times for families, co-ed adults and single-gender adult soaking. The Gentlemen's pool is about 6 ft deep and the Ladies' about 5 ft.
Berkeley Springs State Park
A small state park in the middle of Berkeley Springs where warm springs rise at a constant 74.3°F. The Old Roman Bathhouse and the Main Bathhouse rent private walk-in Roman baths and jetted whirlpool baths filled with spring water heated to 102°F, alongside massage and sauna services. The spring runs are free to wade in year-round, and a spring-filled outdoor pool opens in summer.
Hot Springs Resort & Spa
North Carolina's only hot springs resort, on the banks of Spring Creek and the French Broad River in the Appalachian Trail town of Hot Springs. Natural hot mineral water is piped to private outdoor tubs rented by the hour for up to five people, each drained and cleaned after every use. The resort is rebuilding after Hurricane Helene destroyed most of its tubs and lodging in 2024, so fewer tubs and rooms are available.
