Ouray Hot Springs from the Visitor Center (Live View)

Ouray, the “Switzerland of America”, is home to the historic Ouray Hot Springs. These geothermal pools have been utilized for hundreds of years, including by the Ute Native American tribe. These springs are nestled into a valley surrounded by 13,000 foot snow-capped peaks. Rain, snow, or shine, the Ouray Hot Springs are open year-round for public use.

The Ouray Hot Springs Pool and Fitness Center houses five pools, three of which are geothermally heated. The water contains a vast number of minerals, including, iron, manganese, zinc, fluoride, and potassium, among others. During your stay you will notice our pools are odorless. This is because our water does not contain any sulfur. Temperatures range from 75 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit in our pools, which total to 750,000 gallons. Geothermal water is sourced from the ground near the Ouray Box Canyon Waterfall at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally there is an aquafer in Fellin Park, adjacent to the Ouray Hot Springs, which supplies us with water that is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Our cold water pools are supplied with domestic water, which is procured from a local source known as Weehawken Spring.

Our facility contains an adults-only option for those wishing to relax, 8 lap lanes, two waterslides for people of all ages to enjoy (as long as they’re 48in tall), a climbing wall, and an inflatable obstacle course. Whatever your activity, our facilities serve you. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the Pool Rules before your visit.

The City of Ouray is home and operator of beautiful attractions such as the Ouray Box Canyon Park, the Ouray Ice Park, and the Ouray Hot Springs. Our facility is a family-friendly, swimsuit required pool beloved by many in the heart of the San Juan Mountains.
