• Green Canyon Hot Springs is a historic hot springs resort offering three pools and scenic canyon camping
Green Canyon Hot Springs features three pools and a large campground surrounded by the emerald hills of Canyon Creek, about 30 miles from Driggs. In addition to its geothermal mineral waters, the property offers swimming lessons in a “swim camp” format. Both short- and long-term rental options are available nearby.
The springs’ history dates back to the 19th century. Long before European settlers arrived, Native Americans knew of the springs and valued their rejuvenating qualities.
In September 1812, explorer Robert Stuart and his party visited the site, camped nearby, and soaked in the warm waters before crossing the Big Hole Mountains into Teton Valley. Word of the healing springs spread quickly, attracting new settlers.
The Pincock family later moved to the area and built the first pool. Over time, they added dressing rooms, expanded the facilities, and developed a small recreational resort.
Geothermal Water & Soaking
Water emerges from the spring at 115°F (46°C) and is piped into three pools:
- The large pool is kept at 96°F (36°C) for comfortable swimming.
- The hydrojet hot pool stays around 105°F (41°C).
- The cold plunge pool maintains a brisk 55°F (13°C).
Visitors can enjoy a day soak or stay overnight at the campground. Private pool reservations are also available outside public hours.
Bathing suits are required.
