General Description
Since there is no pool; the best way to
enjoy this hot springs is during late summer. At this time you can
safely wade the river to the spot where hot meets cold (river should
be approx 3ft deep).
The hot water, backed by streaks of bright algae, flows down a cliff
into the river. There is no pool to soak in at this hot spring. |

Seasonal Notes
The majority of roads into Atlanta close during winter save for one
route which is sketchy at best most winters especially given the
large amount of deaths that occur on this road during the summer
months. Note: The Middle Fork Boise River Road is a rough one - this
is one of my least favorite roads to drive on in Idaho due to the
insane washboards. Just something to keep in mind. During the summer
you can cut down on the drive time by taking on of the many FSR off
State HWY 21 to the Middle Fork Road. |
Camping Notes
There are plenty of nearby National Forest
campgrounds and primitive sites to choose from. |

Not much has changed here, still beautiful. I was too chicken to
ford on this brisk autumn day. Maybe when the air temperature is
warmer.

This Hot Spring is 'Round The Bend' from
Ninemeyer Hot Springs. Round The
Bend is unique because after you ford the river, you have to find a spot
where hot water runs down the side of algae-laden rocks into the cold
river to soak. Which, as you can guess, can be a bit tricky. See the
'Seasonal Notes' below for more information.
