About Milford Sweat Hot Spring

Milford Sweat Hot Spring is a natural hot spring in Blaine County, Idaho, about 25 miles east of Bellevue, ID. The nearest large city is Twin Falls, ID, roughly 65 miles away as the crow flies.

The temperature at the source has been recorded at 111°F (44°C). That puts it in the "very hot" range. Hotter than a hot tub. Enter slowly, keep soaks short and get out if you feel dizzy.
