Broadwater Hot Springs is a mineral water oasis on the west edge of Helena in Southwest Montana. Locals used rejuvenating water for well over a century. In the 1890s, Broadwater Springs fed the largest hot springs resort in Montana at the time - Broadwater Natatorium.
Nowadays, Broadwater is a one-stop location for a relaxing soak, a workout session, a cold one at the tap room, and even for a night of live music!
Geothermal Water & Soaking
Geothermal mineral water comes from the source at 148° F - 152° F (64° C - 67° C), depending on the season. Then, it is piped into various pools and tubs. At Broadwater Hot Springs, you can pick where to soak and play based on the temperature.
