The warm mineral waters and hot springs of Texas have a long history of healing weary travelers. Fortunately, there are still hot springs situated on public lands throughout Texas that the general public can enjoy. These exist in both popular areas like downtown Austin and Big Bend National Park to more remote locales in desert settings. The “Lone Star State” often experiences temperatures close to or over 100 degrees during the summer, with its hot springs reaching similar temperatures. With its warm climate, Texas offers many places for locals and tourists alike to enjoy a relaxing soak year-round.
