The Black River Spa

Black River is blessed with a spa which was once used to heal the ailments of the towns residents (from wealthy land owners to slaves). It is believed that the healing properties are due to the high concentrations of sulfur and other minerals. The spa was established in the eighteenth century and was very popular, right up to the 1930s. The spa was even once a favourite place for King Leopold of the Belgians. Since then the spa has become somewhat neglected and is currently in a state of disrepair.
