Pretty soon there is a side road to the first hot springs.

The first hot springs are not to be sat in - warning as these can be well over 100'C but make for gorgeous scenery views and pictures. Lovely to see the scarred landscape from Mother Nature making her presence known with the geothermal activity. This is a decent hike to the paddling area of the hot spring river where you can take a dip. Further down the river you will come across a wooden board walk area with changing areas, this will indicate the safe bathing area. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful and scenic nature and a casual stroll back. Sticks can be advised for the walk back as it is on a downhill gradient and can be a lot on the knees, especially if you're walking a lot for the rest of your trip.

Very nice hike. There is a swimming spot at the end, so don't forget your swimwear.
