Granite Hot Springs is a hot spring located in Sublette County, Wyoming, 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Jackson. It is maintained by the United States Forest Service. Early settlers in the region dug a pool to collect the water. The Civilian Conservation Corps enhanced the pool in 1933 according to the sign at the pool, adding a campground, changing room, and deck. There is also a primitive pool located at Granite Falls, about 1/2 mile downstream, which was one of the locations used to shoot the 1992 film A River Runs Through It.
Insider tip — Obtain wilderness permits and bear awareness training before visiting.
