Radium Springs -
A Natural Wonder!
For a wonderful video presentation, featuring
Morgan Murphy (deceased) and Lamar Clifton
The largest natural springs in Georgia are
found just outside of Albany. The waters, which
are consistently 68 degrees, contain traces of
radium, and the site was dubbed Radium Springs.
A casino was built overlooking the springs in
the 1920s, and the area experienced a tourism
heyday as a spa and resort. Flooding of the
Flint River in 1994 and 1998 severely damaged
the casino, and it was ultimately demolished in
2003.
