Keep Hot Springs Clean and Safe for Generations to Come!
Pickup ALL trash, always pack
it in - pack it out, respect others and the land. Hot springs are a gift. Abused
hot springs are shutting down at an alarming rate.
Utilize Leave No Trace
Principles and keep all soap and shampoo at least 200 feet from any water source; hot springs, creeks, rivers, lakes, springs and reservoirs.

Camping Notes
Best camping except during winter is 10
miles away at the Craters of the Moon National Park. There is public
land both East and West of the springs, but property lines aren't
clear enough to be sure what is public and what is private. |

Milford Sweet looked awesome enough, but it's temperature was a little too cool for our liking. It was disturbing witnessing the poor condition this spring was in. I've never seen so much trash at a hot springs before, and I've seen a lot. Looks like plenty of people party here and abuse the area quite frequently. I hate to say it, but this place needs to be closed to the public, or at least closed overnight. I'd rather see it protected verses destroyed, even if no one can enjoy it.

D+ (because of trash and low temps)
