The site of research area is located in the back arc basin of Sumatra. It has the potential for the hot springs. This research used a Dipole-dipole array of geoelectrical resistivity method. The length of the survey line varies due to in the research location there are many buildings that become tourist attractions. The results showed that the subsurface structure consisted of silt, sandstone and meta sediment. The resistivity distribution shown that there was found the silt layer of soft wet mud in the hot spring zone. The distribution pattern of hot spring in this site is an overflow flow type. The flow is controlled by a fault zone. The direction of this flow is west of the river flow.
