The Bathhouse is the heart of Tenakee Springs. It was built by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) during the Depression. President Roosevelt successfully put many people to work during those hard times for $1 per day. The hot springs are a great place to unwind after a long day of diving. A cold beer, good friends, and a hot tub..... what a combination. Thank You, President Roosevelt.


Downtown Tennakee. Times have changed from the rowdy days of yesteryear. At one point Tenakee was known as "Robbers Roost" stemming from bank robbers and other outlaw types reportedly hiding out there. Gambling and prostitution were commen. Tenakee Springs was the winter home for many trappers, loggers, and gold miners in the old days. Nowdays a few residents make a living from crabbing, shrimping,and fishing. There are a number of local artists and retired folks. The town is known as a quiet relaxing place free from the pressures of contemporary life.
