Everyone In Georgia Must Visit This Epic Natural Spring As Soon As Possible

Did you know that there are Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia? It's true, and one of the natural wonders is Radium Springs, the largest natural spring in the entire state. Many people flock to natural springs because of the therapeutic powers they believe they have. Natural spring water is said to have healing powers simply because of the mineral content inside. As the water runs through underground rocks, minerals such as calcium, sulphur and magnesium dissolve into it. Once these minerals reach the layers of rock, they bubble up and over to form a rich natural spring.

Take a look at this epic natural spring in Georgia and feast your eyes on true natural beauty.

Radium Springs is said to have its name because of the radium they discovered in the water, which turns it a beautiful blue color.

Prior to the discovery of radium, the springs were simply known as Blue Springs.

In ancient times, people discovered that water rich in minerals can help them recover health.

The mineral properties of spring water vary from region to region and even from spring to spring, therefore each type of water has different therapeutic properties depending on its mineral composition.

The springs now include a botanical garden and historic site as well.

It has been researched that mineral springs can cure many health conditions simply by bathing in the waters.

The deep blue waters flow at 70,000 gallons per minute and empty into the Flint River.

There also is an underground cave system in the springs that's truly miraculous.

Radium Springs is an unincorporated community located on the southeast outskirts of Albany in Dougherty County, Georgia.
