The pool, along with several other smaller ones, was known as "Coney Island of the West."[5] In 1916, Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower celebrated their honeymoon in one of the cabins at the resort.[6] Also known for its good tasting spring water, "Eldorado Springs" bottled water is sold in stores around Colorado.
