Summer of 2024: Givens Hot Springs has been updated and is now open again!
Givens Hot Springs is located on the Snake River approximately 12 miles southwest of Marsing and 20 miles south of Nampa or about an hour from Boise.
You can enjoy swimming or soaking in the relaxing hot springs pool, or camp in your tent or trailer. Or like we did, just enjoy a picnic in the park-like setting beneath shady trees where there are picnic tables and fire pits for your use. Just remember to bring your own drinking water if you want cold water because all of the water here is hot because of the hot springs - or you can purchase chilled bottles in the snack bar for $1 each.
