Radium Springs, Georgia

Radium Springs is an unincorporated community located on the southeast outskirts of Albany in Dougherty County, Georgia, United States. It is part of the Albany Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Radium Springs is best known as the location of one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia”: the largest natural spring in the state. The deep blue waters of Radium Springs flow at 70,000 gallons (265,000 liters) per minute and empty into the Flint River.[1] There is also an extensive underwater cavern system.

The water contains trace amounts of radium, and the water temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) year round.

Prior to the discovery of radium in the water in 1925, the site was known as “Blue Springs”.
