Tucked away in the northwest corner of Georgia, you’ll find a mysterious cave and spring right in the middle of a small municipal park. These geological features are so noteworthy that they gave the town its name, Cave Spring. The small town has a population of under 1,200 people but attracts tons of visitors each year. Most are drawn to the unique cave and spring. It is said that the spring has some of the clearest and cleanest water in Georgia, and some even believe that it has magical healing powers. Join us as we explore these wonderful healing springs in Georgia.
Rolater Park is a beautiful old-fashioned park near Rome that will make you feel like you stepped back in time to simpler days. There's a lot to do here, with a cave, a pond with ducks, a playground for the little ones, and, of course, a wonderful natural spring.
The cave is quite magnificent and is open on weekends for tours seasonally. It is possible to tour it during the off months, but you'll need to call and make an appointment.
This is a fairly small cave formation, but it's definitely worth checking out. There are certain areas where you'll have to stoop and crawl, so it's not recommended for those with mobility issues.
As you likely guessed from the name of this small town, it's also home to a spring. This spring is said to have some of the best-tasting water in Georgia, with some people driving an hour or more to fill up jugs.
Many people believe that natural mineral water has healing benefits, whether you're drinking or soaking in it. It's said to help with skin, digestion, and joint issues.
This is one of our favorite small-town parks in Georgia - it looks like something out of a fairy tale!
