It is the perfect place to lose a weekend both for fun and a much needed reprieve from the daily grind.Located on the banks of the French Broad River, Hot Springs is aptly named as it is the home of the only known hot spring in North Carolina. The springs were first used by Native Americans for their therapeutic properties until the European settlers got in on the act as early as 1778. Since then, the town has been the home of multiple spas, hotels and resorts, and has always been a popular tourist destination.

Over time, other activities have joined the springs to add to the allure of the town. Tubing, rafting and kayaking are common on the French Broad River and hiking trails are plentiful in the area.
