Boiling Springs State Park is a 820 acre park that was built by the Civilan Conservation Corps in the 1930's. It was named for one of the mant natural springs which are located within the park. At time time, these springs had the appearance of "boiling" as the sandy bottomed springs churned with the strong inflow of sub-surface water. Today, the spring still produces about 30 gallons of water per minute. Park visitors can enjoy this northwest forest of hackberry, walnut, chinaberry, oak, and elm tree groves. This park offers a true oasis for whitetail deer, racoon, turkey, coyote, bobcat, beaver, badger, rabbit, skunk,and opossum. There has, also, been reports of mountain lions here, in the lost few years. This park also has fishing, hiking, swimming, and a gift shop. During the 1930's one of the most important programs within President Roosevelt's "New Deal" was the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC enrollee were unmarried men who were between the ages of 18 and 25. Each CCC worker received a monthly wage $30 , which $25 was sent home to help their family. Each CCC camp consisted of about 200 men. The CCC camp was under the supervision of the U.S. Army. Nationa l Park Service staff supervised the construction work that was performed by the CCC. This abandoned pump house, guilt by the CCC, was once the lifeline for the CCC camp and the early-day park. It supplied well water that filled the park's original storage tank, located in Group Camp #2.
