Description: Open All Year Recommended This is the Black Hills' original tourist attraction, first opened in 1890.	For more than 100 years people have been coming to the Black Hills' natural hot springs on which Evans Plunge is now located. The plunge features naturally warm indoor and outdoor geothermal pools (87 degrees) with a 164-foot water slide (one of three), hot tubs, steam baths. There are also two childrens' pools.      Rates apply all day. Guests may leave and return on the same day. Age restrictions apply for some facilities. Although hot springs were originally thought to have healing properties, today the use is entirely recreational.      Contact: Evans Plunge, PO Box 610, 1145 N.
