Zims Hot Springs

Zims Hot Springs features outdoor pools sourced from natural mineral water fed by an artesian well cooled by the waters of the Little Salmon River. The pools are located only a few miles outside New Meadows, Idaho in the scenic Meadows Valley. Zims Hot Springs is operated by the Nez Perce Tribe, which purchased the springs because of the site’s significant spiritual, cultural and medicinal values.
