Our pool is naturally fed by the 6,000 year old water from the adjacent Eldorado Artesian Spring, providing fresh, mineral-rich water straight from the source.
While the water comes directly from the spring, health regulations require us to chlorinate it to maintain safe swimming conditions for the public.
We do our best to keep chlorine levels at bay while still meeting safety standards, so you can enjoy the unique experience of swimming in spring water—with peace of mind.
Late Day Discounts available Monday through Thursday from 4-6 pm (excluding holidays).

- $10 Children & Seniors
*Tickets must be purchased at the gate
- The baby pool is 1’2”

We generally heat the water between 79-82 degree and adjust accordingly as weather conditions fluctuate.
STAY TUNED FOR OUR “HOT SPRING SERIES” THIS FALL & WINTER
All guests entering the facility are required to pay the standard entrance fee—regardless of whether they plan to swim. This helps us manage capacity and maintain a safe, enjoyable environment for everyone.
You’re more than welcome to relax in our plaza area outside the pool gates—no entry fee required. Enjoy a creekside refreshment from the Snack Bar while you take in the view!
For guests who need assistance entering the water, we also provide an ADA-compliant pool lift.
If you have specific accessibility needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help make your visit comfortable and enjoyable.
We have towels available for purchase in the Snack Bar.
We have locker rooms, with individual showers. However, we do not have any storage lockers just yet. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, with the new renovations, the famous slide (“Big Red”) just wouldn’t slide.
We understand how much of a draw it was, and are as sad as you to see it retire. We have our hearts set on adding a replica down the line.
Send us your slide pics! We live for the nostalgia.
Yes—we still have a diving board!
On especially fun days, you might even catch an impromptu contest or two.
- One person on the board at a time
- One bounce only
- Feet only on the board—no hands or bottom bounces
- No reverse dives
Thanks for helping us keep the good times rolling safely!
At times—especially on busy days—we may call for adult swims or short safety breaks. These pauses help our lifeguards stay sharp and ensure everyone’s well-being.
We appreciate your understanding as we keep safety front and center for both guests and staff. Think of it as a perfect moment to reapply sunscreen, grab a drink, or treat yourself to some ice cream!
No refunds or rain checks after entry.
Unused tickets can be used on another day if scheduled within 10 days of purchase and must be requested directly before the scheduled visit date.
Group events are refundable only if the pool does not open due to inclement weather. Please see your group agreement for complete details.
Swim diapers are required for diaper-dependent guests.
Please Help Us Celebrate
We are looking for photos that reflect the richness and family-orientation of this wonderful historic place. The more historic (i.e. old) the photo, the better, but recent photos are also welcome! Please share your photos with us by clicking here to upload.

Remembering Our Rich History
Keeping the Tradition Going
The memories held at the resort are what gives this place such a meaningful significance in our community. Known as the "Jewel of Boulder County," the historic resort has attracted the likes of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower as well as boxing's heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey.
