Goldbug Hot Springs is a hot spring located in the Salmon-Challis National Forest about 20 miles south of Salmon, Idaho. The spring is along Warm Spring Creek and there are about six waterfall-fed pools.[4] Goldbug is listed as having a temperature of 113 °F (45 °C),[2] but the temperature of the pools will vary depending on the time of year.[1] The pools have a sand/gravel bottom and are dammed by boulders. Due to the hike and remoteness of the trailhead, it is not usually crowded.[5]
Water from Goldbug Hot Springs flows into Warm Springs Creek, which flows into the Salmon River.
