Carlsbad Springs

The mineral springs at Russell Road and Bear Brook supported a resort spa community from the mid 19th to the mid 20th century. Guests came "to take the waters" for ailments such as rheumatism, nervousness, and digestive disorders. Local hotels supplemented spa therapy with a variety of social and recreational activities.

Location Next to one of the mineral springs, south of County Road 26 at the west side of Bear Brook, west of the present community of Carlsbad Springs, 12 km southeast of Ottawa, north of Highway 417
