Hot springs soaking is the activity of sitting or swimming in natural hot springs. Many hot springs are not large enough to soak in, so soakers will build dams or walls to build up the hot spring. Some hot springs are considered "clothing optional" which makes it difficult for families to enjoy soaking in hot springs.
