Evan’s Plunge is an indoor pool and mineral spa in Hot Springs, South Dakota. It is the oldest tourist attraction in the region, being built in the 1890s, after the area was acquired from Native Americans who once fought over the land and then re-discovered by colonialists.

Today, Evan’s Plunge is primarily a water park that is also believed to be a therapeutic area, with its natural spring waters coming from natural sources. When it was first established, it was one of the top mineral baths that people from all over the country seek for its curative properties.

Even though Evan’s Plunge is not marketed as a curative place anymore, it is still a top tourist spot. Loved for its pools and water slides, as well as its perennially warm water, there’s really something to see and enjoy at this venue.
