Georgia's one significant naturally warm spring is Warm Springs in Meriwether County, which carries outsized historical weight as the polio-therapy retreat of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the location of the Little White House. This site is not yet on our site - our Georgia listings page will be updated as it is added. In Georgia, the flagship warm spring shaped a US president's disability policy and helped launch the March of Dimes. Warm Springs discharges at approximately 88°F, sourced from meteoric water circulating through faulted Pine Mountain quartzite. The historic Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute pools operate as a rehabilitation facility, and the town's public warm-water bath house is operated as a historic site by the state park. No other significant hot or warm springs are recorded in the state.
