Star Plunge
A family pool complex in Hot Springs State Park with indoor and outdoor mineral pools, water slides and a vapor cave, closed since Jan 14, 2025 after its concession agreement expired. On Jul 31, 2026 Wyoming State Parks announced a tentative settlement that would let a new long-term concessionaire reopen it, but no date has been set.
State Bath House (Hot Springs State Park)
A free bath house run by Wyoming State Parks in Hot Springs State Park, with an indoor and an outdoor soaking pool kept at about 104°F from springs that emerge at 128°F. The outdoor pool closed on Aug 24, 2026 for about a month while a pool lift, handrails and heated walkways were installed. The park around it has mineral terraces, the Swinging Bridge over the Bighorn River and the state bison herd.
Fountain of Youth RV Park
An RV park north of Thermopolis built around a large mineral pool fed by the Sacajawea Well, drilled in 1918, which flows about 1.3 million gallons a day. Travel Wyoming lists the water at 100-104°F, and a 2024 report says new owners were restoring the pools and selling all-day passes to non-campers.
