While some people prefer luxurious resorts with all the amenities, others prefer the rustic, natural environment of a primitive site like Nimrod Warm Spring in Montana. This 70°F year-round hot spring boasts clear blue waters, perfect for a day of swimming, relaxing, and enjoying Montana’s beauty.
When you reach Nimrod Warm Spring, the first thing you will notice is what appears to be a small lake stretching out before you. The water is crystal clear with a soft blue hue, and on a good day, you can see straight to the bottom.
Fresh spring water fills the pool by cascading down a beautiful rock wall, giving a tropical feeling to this roadside oasis.
The water stays a comfortable 70°F year-round and is a popular swimming spot for local college students. Around this sizeable warm spring are beautiful rolling hills, sporadically dotted with tall trees. This is a great spot to swim, have a picnic, and enjoy the mineral-rich waters.
Note: Camping is not permitted.
For the more adventurous, there is a hidden cave you can reach by swimming beneath the rock face. It is only a few feet in but do so at your own risk!
Getting There
To get to Nimrod Warm Springs, take Bearmouth 138 and head north towards Drummond Frontage Road. At the end of the road, you will come to a sign on the left that says “Fishing Access,” turn down this road to reach the parking lot.
From there, you will walk with the highway on your left. After half a mile, you will come up to a concrete highway divider placed along the fence. Enter through this area and follow the gravel path to the spring.
