Ouray Hot Springs Pool, Ouray, Colorado

Ouray, Colorado4.5 (2,081 reviews on Google)

Ouray Hot Springs Pool is the City of Ouray’s public mineral-water complex at 1220 Main Street at the north entrance to town, framed by the San Juan Mountains. Visit Ouray and city materials describe sulfur-free geothermal water across several pools: an adult-oriented Overlook Pool typically listed about 102–106°F, a Hot Pool about 95–103°F, a Lap Pool about 75–83°F, plus seasonal Shallow and Activity pools and slides in summer. A City of Ouray press release dated August 13, 2026 announced that from August 17 through the rest of the 2026 season the Slides, Activity Pool, and Shallow Pool would close for general daily operations because of lifeguard staffing, while the Overlook, Hot, and Lap pools continued on an adjusted schedule. Public admission is sold on-site without a reservation for ordinary visits; group discounts and venue rentals (white tent, overlook pavilion, overlook pool) are listed separately. The complex also includes a fitness center under the same city Parks and Recreation program. Parking and lodging are elsewhere in town — this listing is the municipal pool, not a hotel spa.
