The Berkeley Springs have attracted people since before the first Europeans traveled to North America. The bathhouse first opened in 1930 but the most notable and influential visitor to the springs was George Washington who visited the springs regularly in the mid-1700's. The warm mineral waters flow from springs at a constant temperature of 74.3°F and are heated for the baths to a maximum of 102 degrees. About 2,000 gallons of clear, sparking water flow every minute. Whether you choose to enjoy the Roman Baths, the 6 1/2 foot Victorian-styled footed bathtubs or the steam cabinets, you'll find the mineral waters one of the most relaxing experieces you can have. A Swedish-style full-body massage or a infra-red heat lamp session will round out your visit to the springs.
