As the largest natural spring and one of the seven natural wonders of Georgia, this radioactive pool of water is a must-visit attraction. The vivid blue glow of spring is due to the small traces of radium found in the water (which was once believed to have healing benefits). Although swimming in the springs is no longer allowed, it is still a fascinating sight to see a bit of state history. Walk around the lush garden encircling the springs, and you will find the remnants of an old casino and spa that was built here during the 1920s.
