Hot Springs Tourism & Welcome Center

Hot Springs Tourism & Welcome Center Hot Springs, NC is a friendly town along the French Broad River and the Appalachian Trail. Hot Springs, NC Is just 40 minutes north of Asheville.

Hot Springs, NC, a resort destination for almost 200 years, has long been renowned for its healing mineral springs and scenic mountain setting. Native Americans were the first to discover the 100-plus degree mineral water from which the Town of Hot Springs received its name. We are located at the junction of the Appalachian Trail and the French Broad River in a valley surrounded by the Blue Ridge

Mountains and the Pisgah National Forest. And Hot Springs is North Carolina's only town that sits astride the Appalachian Trail.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the powerful Holocaust Art student exhibition at Gallery 339!

It was so moving to see the creativity, thoughtfulness, and heart these Madison Early College students poured into their artwork. Special thanks to Miss Young for inspiring them with such a meaningful project.

Grateful for all the families, friends, and community members who showed up to view the pieces and remember. Art like this matters. 💛
