Sunday After-Show Rest Up At Deep Creek Hot Springs

  A group of partygoers have said they plan on taking the short 6 mile drive over to the incredible DEEP CREEK HOT SPRINGS for some Hot and Cold swimming pools.  The pools were built by volunteers over a period of years and are largely maintained by volunteers in the pristine state you see them in today. The beautiful and unique landscape, the soothing hot spring waters mixing with the cool mountain stream, local custom and tradition make for a wonderful clothing-optional setting to be enjoyed by all. Since the time Native Americans inhabited the area, people from all over the world have come to the Springs to get away, soak, sunbathe, relax, and enjoy the natural environment all year long.
