About Hot Springs in Idaho

Idaho has the most usable hot springs pools in the nation, with approximately 130 ‘soakable’ out of 340. Idaho also has the most roadless forests in the lower 48 – by a landslide! Both of which require constant protection.

Why are Hot Springs ... Hot?

Generally speaking, geothermal water is super-heated from deep within the Earth, forcing it up to the surface where pools are developed or form naturally near the outflow.

Where to Soak in Idaho?

Idaho alone has over 130 hot springs soaking opportunities – that’s a lot to choose from! To help simplify the matter, there are two distinct types of hot springs:

1. Public Hot Springs; located on public land (National Forest, BLM and Wilderness), somewhat rustic in appearance and usually no usage or access fees.
