Editorial policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

Accuracy first

Facts on spring pages come from the data sources listed on our data sources page. Sentences on those pages are generated only from fields that exist for that spring; if something is unknown, we say so rather than guess.

Editor's notes and guides

Editor's notes and guides are reviewed before they are published. Claims about rules, fees, permits and closures are checked against official sources such as the operator, the National Park Service, the Forest Service or Parks Canada. These details change, so every guide tells readers to confirm before they travel.

Safety and health

We follow guidance from public health bodies such as the CDC and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. We do not make medical claims about the healing power of mineral water.

Corrections

Found a mistake? Email contact@hotspringsfinderguide.com. We fix confirmed errors quickly and update the date on the page.

Independence

No spring pays to be listed, ranked or described. Advertising, if shown, is kept separate from editorial content.
