About Beach Springs
Beach Springs is a rustic hot spring tucked into the wild landscapes of Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. This primitive spring offers a raw, untouched soaking experience surrounded by scenic geothermal features and rugged natural beauty. Its steamy, mineral-rich waters invite you to connect deeply with the earthy wilderness.
Getting There
Reaching Beach Springs requires a moderate hike along unmarked or lightly maintained trails, so sturdy footwear and navigation skills are essential. There is no formal parking lot nearby; you’ll start your journey from designated park areas where parking is available. The trek rewards you with solitude away from the busiest Yellowstone spots.
What to Expect
The water at Beach Springs is warm and inviting, though temperatures can fluctuate with natural conditions. The atmosphere feels secluded and primitive, without developed facilities or amenities. Quiet and peaceful, it often attracts a small number of visitors seeking an authentic, tranquil Wyoming swimming hole experience.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit during shoulder seasons or weekdays to avoid crowds, since access is limited and primitive. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and layered clothing; weather can shift quickly. There are no entry fees beyond park admission, but practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve this delicate thermal spot.
