About these waters

Deep in the Bitterroot National Forest near the Idaho line, this family-oriented resort wraps a 20-by-70-foot hot spring pool in a greenhouse-style dome for year-round soaking, with water reaching about 105F. Guests choose from lodge rooms, cabins, or a small campground with RV hookups. A restaurant and bar serve meals on site, the water is chemical-free, and pets are welcome across the property.

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.

Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort: FAQs

Do I need to book Lost Trail 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 Lost Trail 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 Lost Trail 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.
