Hot springs along the river made this an appealing tourist destination in the early 20th century. The Langford Hot Springs remain well-known and accessible. In 1914, J.O. and Bessie Langford moved here from Mississippi and started a health resort and trading post, charging 10 cents a day or $2.00 for a 21-day treatment. They raised a family here, and J.O. became a school teacher, self-taught doctor, and postman. With waters at 105°F, it remains a pleasant place to soak. Rock art along the trail to the hot springs shows that people have been in the area for centuries, and some historical buildings from the resort's heyday remain along the present-day trail.
