About

Hot Springs State Park in Thermopolis is Wyoming's premier day-use park featuring natural mineral hot springs that flow at a constant 128°F, producing over 1.8 million gallons daily over colorful travertine terraces along the Bighorn River. The park offers free therapeutic bathing at the State Bath House where water is maintained at 104°F. With 6.2 miles of universally accessible and hiking trails, visitors can explore the mineral terraces, cross the suspension footbridge known as the Swinging Bridge for unique river views, and enjoy the park's renowned summer flower gardens. The park serves as home to the central bison herd for Wyoming State Parks. During late fall and winter months, bison feeding occurs around 8:30 a.m., providing close viewing opportunities from vehicles. The park features full-service comfort stations, a volksmarch trail, fishing access, boat ramps, and three large reservable group picnic shelters. The park is designed exclusively for day-use recreation with no overnight camping facilities available.
