Jerry Johnson Access
Jerry Johnson Access
Jerry Johnson Access provides day-use only parking and trailhead access to Jerry Johnson Hot Springs via the Warm Springs Trail, a relatively easy 1-mile hike through cedar forest along Warm Springs Creek to natural geothermal pools.
The parking area is located off Highway 12 at mile marker 152 near the Lochsa River, with a pack bridge crossing required to access the trail; no overnight camping is permitted at the springs or trailhead.
The site is free to use year-round but may have seasonal closures due to snow, and visitors should pack out all trash and follow leave-no-trace principles in this wilderness area.
