Boat Box Hot Spring

Boat Box Hot Springs is a roadside thermal soak located a few miles north of Stanley along the river bank. The spot features small, private cliffside pools filled with clear water situated high above the Payette River. It offers a scenic and intimate soak surrounded by a forested canyon setting.

Commenters note that the location suffers from heavy tourist influx and overcrowding, which takes away from its local charm. Many express disappointment over lukewarm water temperatures and warn of primitive conditions like spider mites nearby. Consequently, several users recommend seeking out more remote alternatives such as Bonneville or Kern.
