General Description
Two hot springs with potential lie between three other excellent hot
springs. Coupled with high visibility (right next to the road), hot
springers are best off continuing past the annexed hot springs to
one of the other nearby soaks. |

Seasonal Notes
The majority of roads into Atlanta close during winter save for one
route which is sketchy, especially given the
large amount of deaths that occur on this road during the summer
months. Note: The Middle Fork Boise River Road is a rough one - this
is one of my least favorite roads to drive on in Idaho due to the
insane washboards. Just something to keep in mind. During the summer
you can cut down on the drive time by taking on of the many FSRs off
State HWY 21 to the Middle Fork Road. |
Camping Notes
Plenty of nearby National Forest campgrounds and primitive sites to choose from.
Just .5 mi up the road there are free developed sites available for
use at Powerplant Campground. This might very well be one of the
last campgrounds in Idaho that remains free despite having water,
tables and an outhouse. |

Briefings

There's potential here. But why? Especially with 3 other great hot
springs nearby; Atlanta, Chattanooga and Powerplant. If you are on
you way to either of the 3 you'll drive right past Atlanta Annex 1
and 2. Each has a large pool with enough hot water flowing for pool
development, but again, why? Leave the two annexed soaks alone and
head down the road to one or three great hot soaks.
