The mineral-rich spring can be glimpsed from VA Route 263 between the old hotel and the loop at the end of the road. Pull off into the parking spot and take a closer look!

Shrine Mont is the conference center/recreational complex owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia at Orkney Springs, Virginia. The public is welcomed here, for a primary mission of Shrine Mont is to be a place where people can get away and feel closer to God. However, the indoor facilities are closed during the winter.
