Fairmount Hot Springs

Fairmont Hot Springs is a historic thermal resort in the Clark Fork River valley of Powell County, Montana, USA, operating since the 1890s in a tradition of western American hot spring resort culture built around large outdoor pools fed by natural geothermal springs that flow from the volcanic geology of the Northern Rockies at comfortable soaking temperatures. The bicarbonate mineral waters are offered in an extensive outdoor pool complex — one of the largest hot spring pool facilities in Montana — making it a popular destination for families and leisure visitors seeking quality thermal bathing in the natural surroundings of southwestern Montana's mountain valley landscape. The surrounding landscape of the Powell County backcountry, with the Deer Lodge National Forest, historic mining heritage, and the proximity of the Continental Divide, creates an authentic Montana mountain context for the thermal experience. Fairmont Hot Springs represents the democratic and leisure-centered tradition of the American hot spring resort — a place where geothermal warmth, mountain air, and the convivial pleasure of outdoor thermal swimming have been offered to all comers in the grand western American tradition for over a century.
