Is this your kind of spring?
Official sources reviewed 2026-10-18 · Editorial recommendations
A river-edge natural soak with a day-use-only approach. Prepare your pass and parking plan before losing phone service.
A good fit for
- Visitors comfortable on uneven wet rock
- Independent travellers prepared for limited connectivity
Consider another option for
- Visitors expecting overnight camping at the springs
- Anyone needing a confirmed step-free pool route
Use the day-use area
Recreation.gov lists access from 07:00 to 21:00, with no overnight camping. Visitors cross a bridge beyond a locked gate and follow a trail down to pools. Wet rocks can be slippery.
Prepare the vehicle pass
Display the pass confirmation in your vehicle. The pass is date- and vehicle-specific and does not reserve parking; connectivity is limited. Check current fees and eligible pass coverage before arrival.
Keep pets away from pools
Our planning suggestion
Pets must be leashed and kept out of the hot-spring pools and runoff. Editorial suggestion: decide how you will supervise a pet before planning to soak.
What we still need to confirm
These gaps are worth checking if they affect your trip.
- Current fee and any temporary closures
- Toilets, changing arrangements and accessible approach
- Current water conditions and visitor-review sample
