How this directory is different
Most hot springs lists are a few dozen famous names with copied descriptions. This one starts from open scientific and mapping data, so it covers far more springs, and it shows its working: every listing says where its temperature reading came from, how old it is and whether the spring has been confirmed recently.
- Temperatures in °F and °C with a plain-English comfort band, so you know whether a reading means a warm soak or a scalding vent.
- Distances from real towns and cities, plus "near a city" lists for road trips.
- Honest gaps. If we do not know the price, hours or clothing policy, we say so instead of guessing.
- Respect for local springs. Springs that communities want left alone are excluded, and owners can ask for removal at any time.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find hot springs near me?
Open hot springs near me and allow location. It lists the 25 closest springs to you with distances and temperatures. The hot springs map has a Near me button too. You can also pick your nearest city from the near a city page.
What temperature is a hot spring?
Any spring warmer than the average air temperature of its area can be called a thermal spring. Most people find 98°F to 104°F (37°C to 40°C) comfortable for soaking. Many springs come out of the ground far hotter and are cooled before people use them. See the soak temperature guide.
Are hot springs safe to swim in?
Most developed pools are tested and managed. At natural springs, the main risks are scalding water, slippery rocks, remote locations and, rarely, the amoeba Naegleria fowleri, so keep your head above water. Read our hot spring safety guide.
Where does the information on this site come from?
Spring locations and details come from open data: OpenStreetMap, the NOAA thermal springs list, USGS water samples and other public records, combined in the World Hot Springs atlas. We add nearest towns, distances, temperature bands and hand-written notes for well-known springs. See data sources.
Do you list secret hot springs?
No. Springs that local communities want kept quiet are deliberately left out, and anyone who looks after a spring can ask us to remove it on the removal requests page.
