Olympic Hot SpringsALERT: The Elwha area is currently closed to vehicle traffic beyond the Madison Falls Trailhead due to extensive flood damage/road washout. See directions to the hot springs below.
Olympic Hot Springs are natural, unmaintained hot water seeps in the Elwha River Valley. The pools are in a wilderness area and are not tested or treated by the park. They may contain harmful bacteria and use of these pools is at your own risk. These springs are only accessible by foot and no pets or bicycles are permitted.
Due to a road washout, access to Olympic Hot Springs is more diffucult. Visitors must park at the Madison Falls Trailhead and either hike or bike 9 miles on Olympic Hot Springs Road. A bypass trail will take you around the road washout. After reaching the Boulder Creek Trailhead at the end of the road, visitors must hike an additional 1.5 miles to reach the hot springs. No bicycles are allowed on the 1.5 mile trail portion.
