Franklin’s Hot Springs in Paso Robles has been a local staple for over 60 years. It all began with an oil company, the discovery of the springs and an old man named Franklin who had an entrepreneurial spirit and love for his community that set the foundation for a remarkable journey.
Fast forward to 2009 when, after almost three decades away from Paso Robles, I decided to return home. The nostalgia of my childhood memories led me to embark on a quest to find the lake once again. This time, armed with experience and determination, locating the place proved much easier at the age of 39.
Following the failed oil exploration, Mr. Franklin ingeniously transformed the property into a place of health and wellness for the entire community. Water from the spring now flows to the Salinas River, on a path that provides water for several vineyards and its own ecosystem. During the summer months, Franklin’s Hot Springs hosts special events such as “Ponda Palooza,” a local festival that brought talented musicians and family-friendly concerts to the area. Norman even claims the pond possesses special healing powers, and after spending a day there, I couldn’t agree more. As I float in the pool, the stresses of my day seemed to dissipate into the warm water.
