Hot Wells of Bexar County is a historic site in San Antonio, Texas that was acquired by Bexar County in 2015 for preservation and public use. Once a popular resort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Hot Wells offered visitors the therapeutic benefits of hot sulfuric waters. Although the original hotel and well are no longer standing, the ruins have been transformed into a world-class urban restoration project that enhances the Mission Reach Trails and the San Antonio Missions, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visitors can now explore the historic grounds and experience the park, which opened to the public in April 2019. Hot Wells of Bexar County is a testament to the rich history of the area and offers a unique glimpse into the past.
