Black Rock Hot Springs
A small group of springs bubbling up along the Rio Grande in the gorge north of Taos, captured into one soaking pool whose depth changes with the river level. State tourism describes it as well known, easy to reach and often busy, and reached by a short walk downstream from parking across the John Dunn Bridge.
Charles Motel & Hotsprings
A historic downtown motel and bathhouse with individual deco-tiled meditation tubs and a larger indoor group tub, all drained and cleaned between users. Mineral water comes from the property's wells at about 111°F, and cool water is available to adjust it. Walk-ins pay by the hour and motel guests use the meditation tubs free; the rooftop tubs are closed for renovation.
Hoosier Hot Springs & Inn
An adults-only 1937 inn in downtown T or C, revitalized in 2026, with four private soaking spaces: three walled outdoor pools and the original indoor bath. Untreated, unheated mineral water flows in at about 104°F and drains back to the Rio Grande, and each pool is drained and cleaned between reservations. Inn guests get a free 1-hour soak per night.
Hot Springs Glamp Camp
A small private RV park and glamping compound in the T or C hot springs district with remodeled vintage trailers, a yurt and a dome. Overnight guests can use three outdoor multi-person mineral baths and one indoor single bath at any hour; the county lists water at about 107-109°F. Baths are for guests only.
Indian Springs
A bathhouse and cottages, formerly the Langford Tourist Courts, whose two baths built in 1927 from wood, redwood and lava rock have gravel bottoms with natural artesian flow. Walk-in bathers are taken first come, first served. Facts come from the county tourism listing, as the business has no website.
Jemez Hot Springs
Formerly Giggling Springs, this walk-in soaking spot in the village has four outdoor mineral pools kept at 98-105°F beside the Jemez River. Soaks are sold by the hour on a first-come basis, swimsuits are required, and visitors must be 14 or older. The pools use UV light instead of chemicals and are drained and cleaned every night.
Jordan Hot Springs
A warm spring pool about 20 feet across and 3 feet deep at roughly 90-94°F, deep in the Gila Wilderness. It is about 7 miles one way from the TJ Corral trailhead via Little Bear Canyon, or 8.5 miles up the Middle Fork, with many river crossings either way. The NPS recommends it as an overnight trip and notes it is crowded at busy times such as spring break.
Lightfeather Hot Springs
A hot spring that pulses from the base of a hill into the Middle Fork of the Gila, about three-quarters of a mile up Trail 157 from the Gila Visitor Center. The source is scalding, about 130-140°F according to the NPS, so visitors soak in rock-lined pools in the river where the hot water mixes with river water. The short walk includes several river crossings.
Manby Hot Springs
Two hot pools beside the Rio Grande at the stone ruins of an old stagecoach stop, southwest of Arroyo Hondo near Taos. State tourism describes an easy hike from the John Dunn Bridge, following the river south to the rocks that mark the pools.
McCauley Warm Springs
Two large warm pools at about 99°F in a forest meadow between Battleship Rock and Jemez Falls, reached on East Fork Trail #137. State tourism puts the hike at about 2 miles from the Battleship Rock picnic area. The village tourism site says these public-land springs are day use only, with no camping, fires or facilities.
Montezuma Hot Springs
Natural springs that flow from a hillside into a row of rock and cement soaking tubs of varying temperatures beside NM 65, six miles northwest of Las Vegas. They were once part of the Montezuma Castle resort and sit near the United World College campus, which is otherwise closed to the public. State tourism calls them family-friendly since no hike is needed.
Pelican Spa
A quirky, fully pet-friendly motel and bathhouse with private indoor soaking rooms and deep Japanese-style concrete tubs, filled fresh for each session. The geothermal water is pumped straight from the source without heating or treatment and runs about 102-112°F. Tubs are first come, first served, and non-guests can buy hourly sessions or soak cards at the front desk.
Riverbend Hot Springs
A hot springs inn on the Rio Grande in Truth or Consequences with eight common pools of 95-107°F on a shaded river deck, and seven private pools rented in 50-minute sessions. Both the hourly Property Pass and private soaks are booked in advance, and guests must be 12 or older. The largest common pool, Sierra, has an ADA pool lift.
San Antonio Hot Springs
Hot water emerges from several sources on a steep hillside and flows into a series of primitive rock-lined pools of different temperatures. It is reached by a 0.7-mile out-and-back trail from a small parking area after 5 miles on Forest Road 376 (north). Check Santa Fe NF road alerts before going, as FR 376 had storm damage in late October 2026.
San Francisco Hot Springs
A few undeveloped pools beside the San Francisco River about 2 miles southwest of Pleasanton, reached by Trail #250 from a signed Forest Service trailhead off US 180. The trailhead is day use (dawn to dusk) with no fee. State tourism notes a second trailhead with a short, scenic hike to another soaking spot.
Spence Hot Spring
A popular warm spring on a hillside above the Jemez River, reached by a short trail from a small paved lot on NM 4 about 7 miles north of Jemez Springs. The Forest Service says the spring has cooled over the years to roughly body temperature (listed at 95°F), and its small pool holds only a few people. It is day use only, nudity is cited under state law, and glass, camping and fires are banned.
Turkey Creek Hot Springs
Springs deep in the Gila Wilderness that reach about 165°F at the source and are cooled by Turkey Creek. State tourism says rock-lined pools are built here but often wash out, and a larger swimming hole with warm seepage gives a more reliable soak. Getting there takes a tough drive and a hike, and it is well known, so expect company.
Upper Frisco Hot Springs
A spring on the upper San Francisco River in the Gila National Forest, reached from the Forest Service's Upper Frisco Hot Springs trailhead on Frisco Divide Trail #124. The trailhead is at the end of Forest Road 35, 12.3 miles off US 180 between Reserve and Luna. The Forest Service does not publish the hike distance or pool details.
