The 20 thermal springs that are most clearly recognized include some where seepages next to each other are combined to form one named spring: 3. The group at Warm Springs is made up of three springs within about 30 meters of each other and a fourth about meters to the southwest.
At Hot Springs, eight warm springs occur over an area of about 4,m 2. Healing Springs consists of three separate springs less than three meters apart. Falling Springs are made up of a number of flows and seepages at a much lower temperature the other warm springs in the Warm Springs anticline, and with a greater discharge than any other warm springs in the region.
The Ordivicial limestone and Cambrian sandstone bedrock formations through which the thermal spring water travels were deposited million years ago, but the water in the springs is recent rainfall. It seeps underground, is heated by the warmer rock 2,, feet underground, then returns to the surface quickly enough to retain that geothermal heat.
At Hot Springs and Warm Springs, the water has been underground at least 20 years before re-emerging at the surface. At the many, many other springs in Virginia, groundwater moves to the surface slowly enough that the water temperature adjusts to match the average temperature at that location.
As a result, in the summertime most springs offer cool water. At Warm Springs, the surface water percolates one mile below the surface. It flows down through the sedimentary rock layers until it reaches a resistant layer and is pushed upwards, emerging in a valley quickly enough to retain some of its geothermal heat aquired at depth. Cool groundwater closer to the surface may mix with warmer water from greater depth.
The temperature of Bolar Spring drops as the flow increases, suggesting that warm water from greater depth dominates during dry periods but cooler water from near the surface is mixed in after rains. The hot springs at the modern Homestead Resort have been used for 9, years.
The Gentleman's Pool House there was constructed in , and the separate structure for women was built in They are named the Jefferson Pools because former president Thomas Jefferson visited there in George Washington beat him to a thermal spring by 40 years, enjoying the Berkeley Springs now in West Virginia while surveying that area in Prior to the Civil War, mountain springs were developed as entertainment resorts for the wealthy, especially those living in Tidewater who desired to escape the heat and humidity in the days before air conditioning.
