About
Hot Springs State Park in Thermopolis, Wyoming showcases one of the world's largest mineral hot springs, with terraced mineral deposits and steaming water flowing year-round. The park's centerpiece is a free public bathhouse where visitors can soak in naturally heated mineral water maintained at 104°F. Over 6.2 miles of universally accessible trails wind through the park, offering views of the dramatic travertine terraces and the Bighorn River. The park maintains a resident bison herd that visitors can observe from designated viewing areas. Recreational amenities include three reservable group picnic shelters, playgrounds, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, fishing access, and a boat ramp on the Bighorn River. A suspension footbridge provides pedestrian access across the river. This is strictly a day-use facility. No overnight camping is permitted anywhere within park boundaries. Visitors seeking overnight accommodations should look to nearby campgrounds and RV parks in the Thermopolis area, including Fountain of Youth RV Park approximately 2 miles north.
