2026 Hot Spring Resorts in Idaho
Private cabanas, spa menus, family pools, and lodging—compare the resorts that anchor soaking trips in Idaho.
Burgdorf Hot Springs
McCall, ID
This 1870s mining-era resort keeps its hand-hewn bathhouse, two massive log-lined pools, and a handful of dry cabins tucked in the Payette National Forest. In winter the only way in is by snowmobile or fat bike, turning the soak into a full adventure.
Goldbug Hot Springs
Salmon, ID
A two-mile climb up BLM Trail #642 leads to cliffside tubs with sweeping views of the Salmon River Mountains. Backpackers spread out across primitive campsites tucked between the cascades and the main overlook pool.
Jerry Johnson Hot Springs
Lowell, ID
A swinging bridge over Warm Springs Creek leads to terraced pools perched above the Lochsa River, framed by cedar forest and mist.
Kirkham Hot Springs
Lowman, ID
Dozens of thermal cascades pour over travertine ledges into the South Fork of the Payette River, creating adjustable rock tubs within a five-minute walk of the campground. Picnic tables and vault toilets make it one of Idaho's most accessible roadside springs.
Lava Hot Springs Foundation Pools
Lava Hot Springs, ID
A state-run complex channels 2.5 million gallons of odor-free mineral water through five terraced pools with heated sidewalks and changing rooms. The adjacent town packs in motels, float rentals, and summer tubing on the Portneuf River.
Miracle Hot Springs
Buhl, ID
Geodesic domes, glamping cabins, and palm trees ring multiple soaking options minutes from Thousand Springs State Park.
Sunbeam & Boat Box Hot Springs
Stanley, ID
A claw-foot tub and a few rock-walled pools borrow piping-hot water from the Sunbeam geothermal vents above the Salmon River. Locals ladle it into the tub and temper the soak with river water for quick roadside dips.
The Springs - Idaho City
Idaho City, ID
A modern mountain spa 45 minutes from Boise with a massive saline hot pool, cedar sauna, massage suites, and glamping yurts.
Trail Creek Hot Springs
Cascade, ID
Two cedar-planked tubs let you mix scalding vents with icy Trail Creek water a few miles off Highway 55—perfect after a Payette River paddle.
Zims Hot Springs
New Meadows, ID
Two outdoor pools managed by the Nez Perce Tribe offer sweeping Meadow Valley views plus a small RV park and snack shack.
