About these waters
A historic resort on the McKenzie River operating since 1869, with two mineral pools - the lower open to walk-in day guests by the hour, the upper reserved for overnight visitors. Beyond soaking there are lodge rooms, cabins, mountain homes, and tent and RV sites, plus landscaped gardens and river trails to wander between dips. Swimsuits are required and children under five are not allowed in the pool area.

Good to know
- Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
- Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
- Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.

Belknap Hot Springs Resort: FAQs
Do I need to book Belknap Hot Springs Resort in advance?
For day-use admission, popular resorts sell out on weekends — if the official site offers reservations, book ahead. Weekday visits are usually easier as walk-ins.
Are kids welcome at Belknap Hot Springs Resort?
Many developed springs welcome families, but age rules, family hours, and adults-only pools vary by property. Check the official site for the current policy before visiting with children.
How long should I soak at Belknap Hot Springs Resort?
Start with 15–20 minutes, then cool off and hydrate before going back in. Hot mineral water dehydrates you faster than you expect — drink water between soaks and don't push through dizziness.
