Hot
Springs
Hot Springs, NC is a small
mountain town in Madison
County. It is best known for
the natural hot mineral
springs that give the town
its name. Hot Springs is a
widely popular outdoor
recreation spot, whether it
be hiking, whitewater
rafting, kayaking, mountain
biking, horseback riding, or
fishing. The French Broad
River and the Appalachian
Trail both run through the
town, which makes Hot
Springs an outdoor
enthusiast’s dream.
Hot Springs has a population
of about 700 residents,
although visitors frequently
double that figure. The
people here enjoy a slower
pace of life, natural
beauty, and friendly faces.
According to the mayor of
Hot Springs, “Everybody
knows everybody, respects
each other and works
together… It doesn’t matter
what you need, there’s
always somebody there to
help you.”
Hot Springs Elementary
School has won several
awards in the recent years,
including School of
Excellence, School of
Distinction, and Top 25
ranking in the State of
North Carolina. With an
enrollment of around 120
students, each child is sure
to get the one-on-one
attention they need to
succeed in class.
 The
hot springs themselves are
one of the main draws for
the town. There are 6
separate springs that vary
in temperature from 97 to
101 degrees. Aside from the
relaxation that comes from
sitting in an all natural
hot mineral bath, many
people use the springs for
relief from arthritis and
other injuries. One of the
springs is reserved for
drinking. The water is
crystal clear and full of
natural minerals.
Each year in May, thousands
enjoy the French Broad River
Festival, 3 days of music,
food, mountain bike races,
raft races, games, and more.
Proceeds from the festival
benefit American Whitewater,
and it is always a blast!
The Bluff Mountain Festival
is normally in June and
features the area’s best
traditional bluegrass music.
This festival is free,
however there is a day-long
raffle for fantastic items
donated by local businesses
to raise money for the
Madison County Arts Council.
