Bladon Springs Old Spa

Bladon Springs Old Spa Opened as a private spa in 1838, visitors to Bladon Springs traveled from all over the country to benefit from the curing properties of the park's four mineral wells. In 1846, a large Greek Revival hotel was built to accommodate the influx of visitors. This health resort was once called the Saratoga of the South and remained open through the Civil War. The State of Alabama purchased the property in 1934 and converted the location to a state park.

Bladon Springs is open 7 days a week from 8 am to sundown. If anyone has questions they can call the office of Choctaw County.
