Rolater Park is a beautiful old-fashioned park near Rome that will make you feel like you stepped back in time to simpler days. There's a lot to do here, with a cave, a pond with ducks, a playground for the little ones, and, of course, a wonderful natural spring.

The cave is quite magnificent and is open on weekends for tours seasonally. It is possible to tour it during the off months, but you'll need to call and make an appointment.

This is a fairly small cave formation, but it's definitely worth checking out. There are certain areas where you'll have to stoop and crawl, so it's not recommended for those with mobility issues.

Healing Springs In Georgia

Where are some natural springs in Georgia?
Georgia has many hot and cold springs throughout the state. These natural springs are a beautiful scenic place to swim, hike around, and maybe even receive health benefits. Here are a few natural springs in Georgia that you can check out:

  • Radium Springs, Dougherty County, GA: This enchanting natural spring in Georgia was originally called Blue Spring because of its unique blue-green waters. The spring gets this blueish hue from the mineral radium in the water. Long ago, it was believed this beautiful pool of water had healing powers, which may not be too far from the truth since certain mineral compositions can be beneficial to our health.
  • Red Clay Resort, Cohutta, GA: Another mesmerizing spring-fed pool in Georgia can be found at the Red Clay Resort. This natural swimming pool has been a part of the Red Clay Resort since the 1970s. But the spring that feeds it has been a natural wonder for many generations. This healing spring water in Georgia was used by the Cherokee Indians as a water source as far back as the 1800s.
  • Indian Springs State Park, Flovilla, GA: This small hidden gem is thought to be the oldest state park in the US having been acquired in 1825. It officially became a state park in 1927. However, the Creek Indians used this area and the springs within it, to heal members of its tribe centuries ago. In the 1800s it became a resort that drew people from all over to enjoy the natural springs. Today we can all enjoy its healing waters.
