Rocky Canyon Hot Springs

rocky canyon hot springs

Rocky Canyon Hot Springs are located along the Middle Fork Payette River in the Boise National Forest. While they are located right off the highway, access is tricky as you must cross the river to get to the springs. The river crossing is not bare foot friendly as the rocks are rather sharp and slippery so bring some shoes or sandals for the crossing.

Once you make your way across the Payette river you’ll be rewarded with a cascading series of primitive rock-lined pools. Temperatures are warmest at the uppermost pool and gradually decrease as you work your way down to lower pools.

Sunbeam Hot Springs

Sunbeam Hot Springs idaho

Idaho’s Highway 75 follows the Salmon River through the beautiful region of the Salmon-Challis National Forest. Sunbeam Hot Springs, one of the most popular thermal springs located along this route, is a good place to unwind after a long day on the road.

The pools are located along the bank of the Salmon River below the highway, where a thermal spring cascades down from the hillside above. A row of boulders hides the pools from view from Highway 75, but steam rising from the river is easy to spot. This is a popular stop for bathers on trips along the Salmon River and Sawtooth Mountains. It’s an excellent place to unwind after a hard day’s adventure in the area.

There’s a covered changing area and a paved path leading down to the rocky shore.

Cove Creek Hot Springs

Cove Creek Hot Springs

Located along the iconic highway 75 just outside of Stanley Idaho sits another natural wonder, Cove Creek Hot Springs. Although a close neighbor to the Sunbeam Hot Springs these tend to be less busy due to the very short hike needed to access the springs.

Once at the springs you’ll find several rock circles where you can simply move rocks around to let in more or less cool water for the perfect temperature. Keep an eye out across the river for deer, elk, and bear as they frequent the area catching a quick drink from the Salmon River.

Boat Box Road Side Hot Springs

Boat Box Hot Springs

Boat Box Hot Springs located outside of Stanley Idaho offers up one of the most unique hot spring experiences you’ll ever have. A local’s favorite for taking the edge off after a hard days hike or a day on the river.

Boat Box Hot Springs got it’s name from the old “wooden box” that once stood here. Swept away by high water the wooden box has since been replaced by a metal cauldron. The small 3-person lobster pot sits proudly along the shore of the Salmon River where you can take in some of Idaho’s finest views.

The cauldron is located just below the highway along an unmarked pull-off that will fit a few cars. The only clue you’re in the right place will likely be the steam rising from the rivers edge.

Boat Box Hot Springs is small so don’t try to squeeze in if there’s already a group in there. Best to just wait your turn for your own soaking experience.

Mountain Village Resort

Mountain Village Resort hot spring

Located in the heart of Stanley Idaho, Mountain Village Resort offers a private soaking experience with a ridiculous view. It sits within a small log building that is situated on the banks of Valley Creek, a short walk from the Lodge.

Pine Flat Hot Springs

idaho pine flat hot springs

This is one of our favorite hot springs thanks to it’s steep terraced cascade of hot goodness. There are 6 or so pools which are all relatively small and just right for 2-3 people. Even if it’s busy you won’t feel crowded as each group can have their own pool.

The pools up top are the hottest and gradually cool as they make their way down to the river. There are a couple river bottom pools which can be mixed with river water for those hotter summer days.

To get to the hot springs you’ll start at the Pine Flat Campground which has 26 sites and the usual amenities for a paid campground. There are signs for the hot springs which will take you down a quarter mile long trail to the rivers edge. The trail is steep and loose so you’ll want to wear shoes.

Chattanooga Hot Spring

Chattanooga Hot Spring

Just outside the historic almost ghost town of Atlanta, Idaho you can sooth your aching muscles in the Chattanooga Hot Springs. These simple yet gorgeous hot springs feature a single pool with a cascading hillside cliff of geothermal goodness.

There’s a lot of private property towards the end of the road as well as no parking signs so it’s best to park further up the road and just walk the last bit.

Getting to the hot springs can be a bit rough. It starts with the poorly maintained dirt road and then you’ll have a rather steep hillside scramble to get down to the Boise river. During the spring runoff the pool does get submerged.
