Tips for Visiting Hot Springs in New Jersey
Knowing what to bring can transform a good soak into a great one in New Jersey. A sturdy pair of water shoes protects your feet on rocky terrain around primitive springs. Bring plenty of drinking water — soaking in hot mineral water is dehydrating, and many springs are miles from the nearest store. A quick-dry towel saves pack weight on backcountry hikes. Sunscreen is essential even on overcast days, especially at high-elevation springs where UV exposure is intense. In winter, bring warm layers for the walk back to your car — the contrast between hot water and cold air feels amazing but can chill you quickly once you step out.
