Safety & access

Read before visiting

Verify access before driving in. The U.S. Geological Survey catalogs the geographic feature, not its access status. Hot springs in our database span the full range from developed public soaking pools to private resorts to wild thermal water on federal/state land. Some require entry fees; some are on private property; some are in National Park Service units where soaking is prohibited.

Water in geysers and boiling springs reaches well over 180 °F (82 °C) and can scald instantly. Never enter the water. Steam itself can cause burns.

Before you go: check current conditions and access rules with the relevant land manager — National Park Service unit, U.S. Forest Service ranger district, Bureau of Land Management field office, state-park department, or the property owner if it's private. Wild thermal water can be unsafe to enter without a thermometer; surface temperatures can vary dramatically from the deeper pool. When in doubt, don't soak.

We filter the GNIS Spring catalog to thermal features by name pattern (hot spring, warm spring, geyser, boiling spring, thermal). The GNIS records the geographic feature itself; access rules, ownership, and current conditions come from the relevant land manager. To suggest corrections, see our methodology page or contact us.
