As someone who lives with chronic pain after spending some time in these waters surrounded by the beauty of nature (even though you hear the cargo train coming through sometimes, which wasn't too bad) I left feeling renewed and refreshed.

I came here for my birthday weekend and this hot spring and the town did not disappoint.

I can't wait to visit again and bring more friends. 🪄✨️

This is a true gem located in the town of Lava Hotsprings.
This geothermal location got its fame from the water that flows up through the natural lava beds in this region from the volcanic activities below.
The springs have been updated over the years and have only gotten better.
There are five pools varying from 102° - 112°, so all you need to do is find the one that suits you best and sit back and relax.
My family used to come here back when it wasn't as popular, but still just as relaxing. Now, whenever I'm passing through, I can't resist the stop.
The facility is well maintained and sits in a gorgeous area. It is well worth the stop, guaranteed.
No suffer smell and crystal clear water. They also use no chlorine because of the natural filters that nature has provided. It's an amazing place.
It is also set up very nicely for people with disabilities.
As always, leave it better than you found it, and enjoy 😉.

LOVE THIS HOT SPRING! Five pools to enjoy, they are man made but you can see where the hot spring is piping in from. The hottest pool is 112 degrees which was very hot and therapeutic. Very much a community experience. No sulfur smell at all, facilities are very clean and comfortable. A very relaxing attraction I will be bringing all my visitors/guests to.

This was a great, no-frills hot springs. Honestly, it was way better than the one I went to recently that was 3X the price. For $8 you get multiple springs with various temperatures.
The water was crystal clear and some of the pools have soft pebble bottoms. There are two pools that have jets, which you don't always find at hot springs.
I went on a Monday evening and there were only a handful of people when I got there. It did fill up a little more around 7 PM, but never felt crowded. There was plenty of room.
