Vermont has no naturally occurring hot springs. The state's crystalline Green Mountains bedrock, glaciated Appalachian terrain, and lack of recent volcanism or fault-hosted thermal circulation produce no natural hot water at the surface. Historic 19th-century mineral spring resorts operated at Middletown Springs, Brunswick Springs, and Clarendon Springs, but these tapped cool artesian mineral water rather than geothermal water. Travelers searching for hot springs in Vermont, hot springs near Burlington, or hot springs near Montpelier will find no in-state options. The closest true hot springs are Berkeley Springs, West Virginia (approximately 10 hours by car) and Bath County, Virginia (approximately 12 hours). A handful of Vermont spas offer Nordic-style heated mineral pools and outdoor cedar hot tubs, however these are not naturally geothermal. Reviewed and updated June 2026.
