Frequently asked

Quick answers on getting from Jackson to a soak — the closest option, day visits, the Idaho springs and the rest of Wyoming.

What is the closest hot spring to Jackson?

Astoria Hot Springs Park in the Snake River Canyon is the closest, about 24m south of town by car. It is a nonprofit park with natural hot spring pools and timed two-hour sessions, best bought in advance.

Can I soak near Jackson without staying overnight?

Yes. 7 of the 10 places on this page sell day visits; the other 3, hotels in Lava Hot Springs, keep their pools for overnight guests. The 3 places within a two-hour drive all take day visitors: Astoria in the Snake River Canyon and, across Teton Pass in Idaho, Green Canyon Hot Springs near Newdale and Heise Hot Springs near Ririe. Each listing gives prices and hours where they are published.

Are the hot springs in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, worth the drive from Jackson?

The town of Lava Hot Springs is just under three hours from Jackson and has 5 places on this page: the public World Famous Hot Pools and hotels with their own mineral pools. Indian Springs near American Falls and the beach pools of Epic Hot Springs at Bear Lake are a similar drive.

What about Thermopolis and Saratoga?

Hot Springs State Park in Thermopolis is about 3h 55m from Jackson and Saratoga is more than five hours, so they are not on this page. See all hot springs in Wyoming for the free State Bath House, the Thermopolis pools and Hobo Pool in Saratoga.

Why are Granite Hot Springs and the Yellowstone springs missing?

This page lists only springs we could confirm as open for soaking. Granite Hot Springs is left off until its season can be confirmed with the Forest Service. Soaking in Yellowstone’s thermal features is not allowed, and the National Park Service advises against entering Kelly Warm Spring in Grand Teton.
