Jerry Johnson Hot Springs

Jerry Johnson Hot Springs comprise multiple geothermal pools at different temperatures situated along Warm Springs Creek in Clearwater National Forest. The pools vary in size and depth, offering different bathing experiences within the natural setting.

The area was used for centuries by Native American tribes for its therapeutic waters before European settlers later discovered the springs. This long history of use by different peoples shaped the site over time.

The springs serve as a gathering spot where visitors practice care for nature while experiencing mineral-rich waters in their unaltered form. Regular visitors shape the site through respectful use that honors both the land and the experience.

A 1.3-mile trail from the Warm Springs parking area leads to the springs through forest terrain. The site is accessible throughout the day, allowing visitors to choose their preferred time to visit.

The largest pool can hold about ten people and offers views toward surrounding meadows. The water maintains a consistent warmth that makes the bathing experience particularly comfortable.
