About Pine Flats Hot Springs
A popular roadside hot spring along the South Fork of the Payette River, where volunteers have built rock-and-sand pools right at the river's edge. Soakers can regulate temperature by adjusting the river water mixing into the geothermal flow. The combination of warm mineral water and cold rushing river makes Pine Flats a quintessential Idaho backcountry soak.
