Zims Hot Springs
Two outdoor pools a few miles from New Meadows in the Meadows Valley, filled with mineral water from an artesian well and operated by the Nez Perce Tribe. The smaller soaking pool runs about 100-105F and the larger swimming pool about 90-100F. The site also has RV parking, a campground, a light snack bar and arcade games.
Burgdorf Hot Springs
A historic off-grid resort in the Payette National Forest, about 30 miles north of McCall on Warren Wagon Road, with three log-sided, gravel-bottomed pools. Day soaks are booked in two-hour blocks, and the rustic cabins have no electricity or plumbing. In winter the road becomes a groomed snowmobile trail, so guests arrive by snowmobile or tracked vehicle.
Gold Fork Hot Springs
A privately run soaking site on Gold Fork Road east of Donnelly, with six rock-formed, flow-through pools and a sandy children's pool. Admission is cash only, there is a two-hour soak limit, and no reservations are taken. Winter hours run Wednesday to Monday, with Thursdays set aside for guests 18 and over.
Trail Creek Hot Springs
Creekside pools about 19 miles from Cascade on the Warm Lake road, reached by a short, steep descent from a roadside pullout. Some pools are reinforced with concrete, and pipes let cold creek water in to adjust the temperature. Visit Idaho features it as a winter soak, when the path down is snow-covered.
