White Sulphur Springs, also known as White Sulphur Springs Historic Site, is a historic site located along LA 8, about 10.2 miles (16.4 km) southwest of Jena.

The site is a small clearing including a spring encased in a gazebo built c. 1916 by W.G. Walker. Due to its supposed curative powers, the spring was once surrounded by a health resort with numerous buildings. The gazebo is the only remaining structure, and was restored c.1975. The spring was originally discovered by Joseph P. Ward in 1883.^[2][3]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1982.^[1]
