The Challis Hot Springs is now part of the the Land of the Yankee Fork State Park. Located the banks of the Salmon River, our primary amenity is natural odorless hot springs which constantly replenish with continuous freshwater supplied by nature through the river rock bottoms. Most guests enjoy the springs while camping in the RV and tent campground which features mature trees, and irrigated grass sites all within a stone’s throw of the Salmon River, which fronts the entire property.
The larger pool is 100 by 30 feet. The target temperature for the large pool is 96 in the summer and 98-100 in the winter. The smaller hot pool is 25 by 18 feet and is kept as close to 105 as possible. Both pools are naturally supplied with hot water. Challis Hot Springs Inc. adds cold water from the campground well to control the water temperatures. This is done manually which can cause temperatures to fluctuate. Enter the water cautiously.
