The Hot Springs located in this park was known for its curative properties. The hot springs came out of the side of a hill at a temperature of 140 degrees F. Many bathhouses were built below the springs and the hot spring water was piped downhill to them. These bathhouses are now part of a National Record of Historic Places historic district. The Visitors Center is located in one of the old bathhouses.

The park also has wooded trails through the mountain and a lookout tower on top of the mountain. There are also scenic drives within the parks 5400 acres.
