Description:

Pure spring water right off Hwy 50 coming from metal pipe right out of hard rock. Nice, cold, and clear. Some lichen or moss grows in and around the pipe. Unsure of testing, but everyone I have ever talked to enjoys the water and has no problems.

Description

Radium Springs is a single warm pool, temperature around 90 degrees, that is on the banks of the Colorado river just a few miles south of the town of Radium. This spring sits at the base of a 60 foot cliff that thrill seekers often jump off of into the Colorado river. Then you’ll swim right over to the 20 foot diameter hot pool and warm up. Easiest access is to actually float down the Colorado on a raft or kayak to access it that way. It’s a 20 minute walk on foot and an even more dangerous and gnarly drive in a 4 by 4. The water here is pretty fantastic and someone years ago piled rocks in the form of an oval to create a large natural hot tub right on the river.

Nearest Address

The hot springs are a part of the Spa Motel, but you don’t have to stay at the Motel to enjoy the hot tub springs or the mineral water pool. It’s very nice and inexpensive. The mineral water pool is especially nice!

On the right side of the road, you’ll find a spring. Frequently used by locals. A man I met there told me that a couple of times per year chlorine is put in the water. He also added that the water is frequently checked for purity and health.
