## About Healing Springs

Healing Springs sits in Bath County, Virginia, about seven miles from the village of Warm Springs. The water comes out warm, below body heat and comfortable. Public access is not on record and no landowner is listed. This is Allegheny foothill country, moderately high for the East.

Sam Snead Highway passes within a hundred feet or so, which makes this a roadside spring. The climate is damp, forty-odd inches of rain in a year and a couple of feet of snow in winter. Coles Point, between five and six miles away, is the closest campground the record lists.

December through February score best. With the road so close there is no walk to speak of. Ownership is blank on the record and so is access, so look for signs before stepping off the highway shoulder. No fee or water test is noted.
