About this spring
Nonprofit hot springs park on the Snake River ~20 min south of Jackson, reopened September 2020 after a $6M redevelopment — six ADA-accessible pools (~80-104°F) plus a cold plunge and children's pool; all revenue funds the Astoria Park Conservancy. Fee: $26.25/adult per 2-hr session; locals $18.75; closed Wednesdays. Timed-entry sessions sell out — book ahead; closed Wednesdays; absolutely NO dogs allowed on-site.
Astoria is a nonprofit hot springs park on the Snake River about 20 minutes south of Jackson, across the historic red bridge on Highway 89. The site takes its name from the 1811 Astorians — John Jacob Astor's fur-company expedition, the first to cross the continent after Lewis and Clark — and was later known as Counts Hot Spring after early-1900s prospector Johnny Counts. Robert Porter built the first structured pools in 1961; the Gill family ran the beloved local pool until selling in 1998, and when a luxury hotel threatened the site in 2012 the Trust for Public Land launched a $6 million campaign that created today's Astoria Park Conservancy, steward of the roughly 95-acre park since 2020.
Six man-made pools run on a chlorine-free flow-through system: the Leisure Pool at 100–102°F, the Meadow and riverside Waterfall and River Pools at 102–104°F, plus a chlorinated Children's Pool (80–90°F) and a 48–51°F Cold Plunge. All ticket revenue funds the conservancy; sessions are timed entry, the park is closed Wednesdays, and tribal members soak free.
Directions & trailhead access
25 Johnny Counts Rd, Jackson — south on US-89/191 through Hoback Junction, turn at the red bridge.
Wyoming geothermal context
Wyoming holds the planet's densest geothermal field in Yellowstone — nearly all of it legally protected and off-limits to soaking. The visitable thermal water is outside the park: Thermopolis' free state bathhouse, river-edge springs along the North Platte, and scattered backcountry seeps in grizzly country where bear-aware travel is mandatory.
What a resort site means here
A resort spring is a commercial operation: developed pools or tubs with controlled temperatures, changing facilities, and usually day-use fees or lodging packages. Expect posted rules (swimsuits, quiet hours, age limits), staff on site, and in many cases required reservations — especially on weekends and holidays.
Best time to visit
Year-Round (Best: May – October)Pool temperatures and access can change with weather and season. Outdoor ambient temperatures fluctuate significantly across Wyoming. Late spring through autumn offers the most comfortable road access.
