Local Hot Springs Adventure
Just down the street from Snake River Cabins is Astoria Hot Springs, an outdoor commercial hot spring facility loved by locals and visitors alike. Astoria features 5 different man-made soaking pools filled with natural thermal waters, which are controlled at different temperatures in each pool. Situated within Astoria Park and along the banks of the Snake River, Astoria Hot Springs is one of Jackson Hole’s most unique outdoor experiences and family-friendly activities.
What makes hot springs special?
Astoria’s thermal pools are known for their restorative powers of geothermal energy. The mineral-rich waters of hot springs are believed to have healing properties to help alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. Dip your toes into the warm embrace of the water, feel the stresses of everyday life melt away, listen to the trickle of the Snake River and local wildlife, and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
What else can I do at Astoria?
Beyond soaking, Astoria offers opportunities for you to test your mental focus in a cold plunge, leisurely stroll along scenic pathways, picnic in their pavilion, and play in the tot-lot. Be sure to check their events calendar to see if there’s a yoga flow, meditative breathwork, or additional wellness event during your visit.
Tips for an epic hot spring experience.
- Bring a pair of slip on shoes to make going to and from the thermal pools safe and comfortable.
- Bring your own towel and bathing suit. If you are in need of a towel, Astoria does rent basic white ones.
- Bring a bathrobe for extra comfort (if you have one).
- Hydrate! There is a filling station in the Welcome Center, so it is encouraged to bring a refillable bottle.
- Don’t forget your sunglasses. The Wyoming sun is strong, even on a cloudy day!
Whether seeking relaxation, recreation, or connection with nature, Astoria Hot Springs invites guests to embrace the serenity of its sanctuary and discover the transformative power of the wilderness. Just across the street from Snake River Cabins, Astoria is a local’s favorite family-friendly conservancy. Looking for a second hot springs experience?
