The hot spring water flows into the river from a hill on the bank, and it is scalding hot! Pay attention to where it flows in. This area was very crowded during the daytime, and some people took the liberty of a clothing optional approach. Just so you are prepared if you have kids in tow. A helpful tip from local brought us to a sunrise soak. We had the whole place to ourselves for over an hour. Primative parking is available as well as a pit toilet.
