About Shoshone Hot Springs
Nestled along the serene Shoshone River in Wyoming, Shoshone Hot Springs offers a truly natural soak. Its warm waters create a soothing retreat framed by rugged wilderness, inviting you to connect deeply with the landscape. This primitive spring captures the raw spirit of Wyoming’s hot springs, providing a peaceful and authentic experience.
Getting There
You reach Shoshone Hot Springs easily by car, with drive-up access that requires no hiking. Parking is available at a nearby trailhead, making it convenient for a spontaneous visit. Keep in mind the spring’s location near the Buffalo Bill Dam can affect accessibility.
What to Expect
The water temperature is comfortably warm, ideal for relaxing dips under open skies. The pool is primitive and natural, emphasizing a wilderness feel without man-made alterations. Because of its remote nature and water flow influence, expect few visitors, especially in summer when the spring runoff subsides.
Tips for Visitors
Visit in the summer months to avoid periods when spring runoff or dam releases submerge the pool. Bring sturdy footwear and be prepared for limited facilities—there are no amenities on site. Check local conditions beforehand, as the spring's flow and access can change with water releases from the nearby dam.
