Steamboat Springs Strawberry Park Hot Springs

The Ute Native Americans believed that the vapors eminating from the Strawberry Park hot springs contained their creator’s essence and soaking in the hot springs rejuvenated their soul.  Located about 7-miles outside of Steamboat Springs, Strawberry Park is set in an alpine valley at an elevation of approximately 7,500-feet.  Don’t expect a 5-star resort with room service.  A winding unpaved road leads you to the rustic setting.  This is the charm of Strawberry Park Hot Springs.

The first settlers arrived in the area around 1870.  The original homestead family of the hot springs found they spend too much time running-off trespassers so they gladly sold the springs to the Steamboat Springs Health and Recreation Association for $1 in 1936.  Strawberry Park continued to be a problem through the 1970’s until the neighbors complained and the property was sold to a private owner in 1982.  Since then, strict enforcement of rules has changed the Strawberry Park experience to one of charm and enjoyment for guests.

You will find restrooms, a tipi and heated cabin for changing and picnic areas.  Private areas are available for on-site massages or Watsu.  You can purchase T-shirts, natural soaps & lotions, snacks and beverages — that’s it. 

No glass.  No alcohol.  No smoking.  No pets.  No loud or inappropriate behavior.  Clothing optional after dark when the minimum age goes to 18.  Them are the rules!
