About Frenchman's Hot Springs

A lesser-known primitive hot spring along the South Fork of the Payette River, downstream from the more popular Kirkham Hot Springs. The warm water seeps into several rock pools at the water's edge, offering a mellower temperature and far fewer crowds than its famous neighbor. Best visited during lower water levels in late summer.
