Bear River (Riverdale Resort) Hot Springs – Preston, Idaho

September 18, 2022 By //  by Patricia K

Set in the town of Preston, ID, and formally known as the “Riverdale Resort,” Bear River Hot Springs is a geothermal pool destination with a lot to offer. This establishment welcomes day users and overnight guests with four pools and lodging options.

The resort is open year-round and has several other amenities like a picnic area, event centers, locker rooms, bathrooms, a dog area, and plenty of parking space. Admission is charged for ages three and up, offering discounts to military members, seniors, and spectators. Season and annual passes are also sold for those who might live or spend lots of time near Preston.

Mineral Hot Spring Pools at “Riverdale Resort”

Of the four mineral pools, only two are open year-round.

Hot Tub

The hot tub is a favorite spot for locals who come often, but out-of-town visitors also enjoy the healing properties of this remarkable water. This tub isn’t ideal for little kids, as it’s the hottest of the pools and is kept at 105℉. Being somewhat enclosed, this hot pool is good in any weather.

Peanut Pool

The Peanut Pool is perfect for users of all ages and has a comfortable temperature between 85-95℉. Open all year, this big mineral-soaking pool is excellent for people with aches, pains, or sore muscles and joints. Many people can be in it at once, and since it only gets to be roughly 3.5′ deep, it’s also suitable for the younger crowd.

Two more pools at the facility are only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

The two water slides have their own area and landing pool. These enclosed tube slides offer thrilling twists and turns as riders plummet from 60 feet high.

Junior Olympic Pool

This large Olympic-sized pool is cooler than the others and has a one-meter competition-style diving board. The pool’s depths go from 3′ 9″ to 10′, allowing swimmers plenty of room to get a refreshing workout.
