Iron Springs is named as such because of the high iron content of the water; the spring water is highly saturated with iron that precipitates out of solution, forming an iron-rich stain along the surface of the rock outcrop. This mineral water was believed to have medicinal properties and people traveled here to obtain water from this spring. The stone spring box was constructed by the CCC in the mid-1930s. Information signs here give some history of the spring.
