Rockbridge Baths is a tepid spring in Rockbridge County, Virginia, about seven miles from East Lexington. Low seventies water. The name suggests a bathing place, and nothing in the record says if any facility remains. No owner, no access status, no chemistry, no USGS site, no photograph. A temperature and a pair of coordinates are what you get.

Location

The nearest road is about a fifth of a mile off, and nobody has named it on record. Elevation is around eighteen hundred feet. Around forty-four inches of rain and snow fall in a year, wet by any western standard, with the snow share about twenty-two inches, a light winter. No land unit or designation is listed.

Winter is the rated season. A short walk from the road. Cave Mountain Lake Group Camp is the camping on file, about twenty-three miles away, so an overnight means a drive. Access is not recorded. The temperature is the one measurement on record, and it has no date.
