COMMENTS: Semi abandoned resort town on Rt 10 just north of Rt. 20 north of Cbleskill NY REMAINS: Public baths, resorts and hotels

Sharon Springs was known for its Sulfer baths which were thought to be the fountain of youth. As you decend into the valley this town is in you are overcome with the smell of rotten eggs from the spring. There is one hotel still open the Hotel Adler at the end of town on the hill to your right. Although I have not been there since 89 and my wife in 95 I can vividly remember using my imagination and almost seeing an atmosphere not far from the movie Dirty Dancing. A must see for urban explorers. I have a few photos only one that I can locate and will send later. Submitted by: David Huber
