Tips

The Firehole River, located in Yellowstone National Park, is known for its warm waters, heated by geothermal features, like hot springs and geysers, that the park is famous for. Flowing through scenic valleys and canyons, it supports a unique ecosystem and offers excellent views and wildlife sighting opportunities. It is also one of the few rivers where swimming is allowed; you can got to the Firehole Swim Area, situated two miles south of Madison Junction on Firehole Canyon Drive. This area typically opening in mid-summer and allows visitors to experience the river’s geothermally-influenced waters. However, high water levels or strong currents can delay or prevent its opening, so checking conditions is crucial. The site features two vault toilets but no additional amenities. Swimming is permitted only during designated hours, and items like floats, food, and personal care products (e.g. soap, shampoo) are prohibited to protect the delicate ecosystem. Life jackets are recommended, and children must be closely supervised.
