Granite Hot Springs Pool - Day-use fee or pay-per-soak in Jackson, WY (2026)
A concrete soaking pool perched above Granite Creek Falls at the end of a 10-mile forest road, pairing waterfall views with rustic changing rooms and adjacent campsites.
Granite Hot Springs Pool sits at the end of 10 miles of Forest Service road in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, 35 miles south of Jackson, Wyoming — a single concrete soaking pool perched above Granite Creek Falls, fed by a 112°F source that's cooled by mixing valves. Summer access is by car; winter access is only by snowmobile, ski, or guided dogsled tour after Granite Creek Road closes (typically December-April). The campground next to the pool is one of the most scenic in the Tetons region, and the pool's combination of waterfall-edge views and complete isolation makes it the area's wildest developed soak.
What to expect
Drive 35 miles south of Jackson on US-191/189, then 10 miles east on Granite Creek Road (gravel, passable to standard cars in summer, closed to wheeled vehicles in winter). Pay the day-use fee at the small kiosk. Single concrete pool with a wood changing room and toilet — that's it. No food, no cell, no credit card service. Bring cash. Open year-round but the access mode shifts dramatically by season.
