Camp and Hot Springs
Kirkham Hot Springs, located near the official Boise National Forest campground of the same name, features somewhat shallow rock pools (unimproved) with sand/rock bottoms next to the river. The multiple hot waterfalls are quite the sight! Both the pools and hot waterfalls can be seen from a large pullout off highway 21 on the west side of the campground. Be warned, this place is very popular during the summer and oftentimes winter season.
More Information
Be careful. Pay attention to posted signs and always test the waters before you get in. Some hot springs can get up to boiling temperatures. Be sure to drink plenty of water to combat the dehydrating effect of the spring.
Be respectful of other soakers and the hot spring. Don't hog the pool. Camp at least 200 yards away and keep fires in designated areas. Keep your pets out of the water and never pee in thermal feature. Glass bottles should never go near a hot spring.
