Pool Temperatures:
Overlook Pool ~ 102-106
Hot ~ 95-103
Lap ~ 75-82
Shallow ~ 82-92
Activity ~ 32-80 The hot springs of Ouray have been enjoyed since at least the 14th century when native Ute Indians used the naturally hot clear water for healing. Settlers came to the area in the late 1800's in search of gold and precious minerals, and many found comfort in the natural hot sprin

gs. The original swimming pool was constructed in the 1920's and has been a favorite destination ever since. At the source some of this water is 150 degrees! The pool consists of several sections maintained at different temperatures for different tastes. The hot sections can be as hot as 106 degrees, and a soaking section, perfect for families and prolonged soaking, is typically 95 degrees, or so. The lap lanes and deep section are usually about 80 degrees in the summer and fall, and cooler than that in the winter months when there is snow on the ground. The Ouray Hot Springs Swimming Pool is an outdoor pool open all year. Many people enjoy the pool the most in the winter after a day spent ice climbing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, skating on the local ice rink (skates are available to rent at the Hot Springs Pool), or simply as a place to relax and enjoy the splendid scenery of the San Juan Mountains.

The activity pool at the Ouray Hot Springs is where it's at!

Kids splashing, games forming on the fly, and teamwork and competition. It's all a whole lot of fun.

The activity pool is our cold plunge in the winter, and in the summer it's where all the action happens.
