About this site
The origins of the Rock Fort Spa are uncertain, but it is believed to have appeared miraculously following the 1907 earthquake. The water, which is very radioactive, is piped from a cold spring in the surrounding hills.
The spa, which is operated commercially, has several bathhouses supplied with warm water and a large swimming pool.
Like the other mineral spas, Rock Fort Mineral Spa is believed to have healing properties.
