Description: Open All Year Recommended This is the Black Hills' original tourist attraction, first opened in 1890. |
For more
than 100 years people have been
coming to
the Black Hills' natural hot springs on which
Evans Plunge is now
located. The plunge features naturally warm indoor
and outdoor
geothermal pools
(87 degrees) with a 164-foot water slide (one of
three), hot tubs,
steam baths. There are also two childrens' pools. Rates apply all day. Guests may leave and return on the same day. Age restrictions apply for some facilities. Although hot springs were originally thought to have healing properties, today the use is entirely recreational. Contact: Evans Plunge, PO Box 610, 1145 N. River Street, Hot Springs, SD, 57747.
