Demarias' Hot Spring is located near Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina. Its iron-rich water sits around 36°C and can be enjoyed in an indoor bath as well as an outdoor rotenburo-style bath.
Insider tip — Demarias Hot Spring in the Upstate South Carolina Piedmont is a modest but genuine iron-rich seep that locals have visited for its mineral water benefits since the 19th century. The rusty orange staining around the source betrays its high iron content. Temperatures are mild, making it more of a mineral drinking-water source than a soaking pool. Combine the visit with hiking in the nearby Blue Ridge foothills for a full day outdoors.
