Miracle Hot Springs, Idaho

Miracle Hot Springs is a fully developed geothermal soaking facility located near Buhl in southern Idaho. It is designed for visitors who want predictable pools, posted rules, and an experience that does not rely on natural creek access or trail conditions.

Built for reliability

The facility features multiple outdoor pools, private soaking options, and on-site staff. The focus is on consistency rather than atmosphere. You arrive, change, soak, and leave without needing to adapt to shifting natural conditions.

A practical choice

Miracle is often chosen by families, road-trippers, and anyone new to hot springs who prefers a managed environment. It is also a fallback option when weather makes forest hot springs less appealing.

Children are allowed with supervision. The controlled setting makes this more manageable than natural creekside springs.

Accessibility notes

I am not marking this as wheelchair accessible because I did not find a verified ADA access statement. If accessibility is critical, contact the facility directly.
