Hot Springs is located at the confluence of the beautiful and historical French Broad River and Spring Creek. The only natural thermal hot spring known in North Carolina and in much of the southeastern United States can be found here. Thus, this area has long been a destination for those looking for therapeutic relief from their ailments. Native Americans were the first to discover and use the 108 F mineral water, and European immigrants settled the area over 200 years ago. Reportedly, people were visiting the springs by 1778 for the waters' reported healing properties.
The Appalachian Trail runs along downtown Bridge Street and climbs the mountains on either side of the river. Rafting and kayaking are popular on the French Broad River. There are numerous other hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, and sightseeing opportunities nearby such as Pisgah National Forest.
