Sunbeam Hot Springs Access

Sunbeam Hot Springs Access provides easy roadside parking and day-use access to natural geothermal pools along the Salmon River, located just 12 miles west of Stanley on Highway 75.

The site features a historic 1930s stone bathhouse (available as a changing room), modern pit toilet, and volunteer-built rock-walled pools with sandy bottoms ideal for soaking.

Free parking and access are available 24/7, making it a convenient stop for rafters and paddlers on the Salmon River, though pools may be submerged during spring runoff.
