Terms of Service

Last updated October 29, 2026.

Using Soaktopia

By using Soaktopia you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Information only

Soaktopia is a directory. We don't run, own or manage any of the hot springs we list, and we don't take bookings or payments.

Listings can be wrong or out of date

We check facts against official sources and note when we last did, but hours, prices, access and conditions change. Always confirm with the hot spring or the managing agency before you travel. Roads, trails and land can close without notice.

Soaking is at your own risk

Hot springs can cause burns, dizziness and fainting, and are not suitable for everyone. Natural springs have untreated water, which can carry germs, including a rare brain infection from Naegleria. Backcountry springs also involve hiking, weather, wildlife and rough roads.

You are responsible for your own safety and for following posted rules and land-use laws. By using the site, you accept that you soak and travel at your own risk.

Other websites

Links to other sites are for your convenience. We don't control them and aren't responsible for what they say or do, or for anything you buy or book there.

Our content

The text, design and photos on Soaktopia belong to us or are used with permission. Please don't copy them without asking. You're welcome to link to any page.

No warranty, limited liability

Soaktopia is provided as is, without promises that it is accurate, complete or always available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any injury, loss or damage that comes from using the site or acting on its information.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Changes

We may update these terms. Using the site after a change means you accept the new version. The last updated date at the top of this page shows the latest update.
