Did you know Idaho is home to 130 natural hot springs? While far-away destinations like Hungary, Iceland and Japan consistently draw travelers to its hot springs, you’ll find just as restorative and relaxing hot springs in Idaho. And amongst the 130 hot springs in this state alone, narrow down your search to McCall, a town in western Idaho with an upscale resort and several promising hot springs.

Make Shore Lodge your home base for experiencing the area’s hot springs. With 77 guestrooms, three food and beverage venues, and a full-service spa, this resort embraces a true Idahoan escape. To top it all off, Shore Lodge is a short drive from this region’s three main springs: Burgdorf, Gold Fork and Trail Creek. Here’s what you can expect at each:

Burgdorf Hot Springs

Located 32 miles north of McCall, these hot springs lie within Payette National Forest. Three log-sided pools with graveled bottoms await, with two of these pools at a constant 113 degrees Fahrenheit, and the larger pool averaging 96–113 degrees.

Gold Fork Hot Springs

These springs sit in the small town of Donnelly at the foothills of North Fork Range, just south of McCall. Mineral-rich waters, hot and cold pools, and hydrotherapy jets are the perfect way to spend (or end) a day.

Trail Creek Hot Springs

Soak within multiple rock-walled hot springs running along Trail Creek. These hot springs span two large cement pools walled with stones, situated near Boise National Forest in Warm Lake.
