The hot spring water comes out at about 138°F (59°C) and is blended with cool spring water from the Snake River aquifer before flowing into the big 120 × 60 ft pool and private soaking baths. Depending on the season, the main pool's water typically ranges from 89–95°F (32-35°C), making it ideal for family-friendly swimming and relaxed laps. A diving board at the deep end adds an extra touch of fun.

For a quieter, more private soak, five enclosed soaking rooms allow guests to adjust the water temperature to their comfort level. Each tub is filled with fresh mineral water and drained and cleaned after every session, with no chemical treatment used in the private baths.
