Renova Hot Springs

Renova Hot Springs is a hot spring in Madison County, Montana, in the United States. It is listed as associated with clothing-optional use, without confirmed formal designation. Plan as a self-sufficient visit to a remote thermal bathing pool setting where conditions can change and assistance may not be nearby. The general period from June to September offers warmer weather and more straightforward outdoor conditions, while winter brings cold mountain weather and variable access that can make travel and soaking less comfortable. Time in the Mountain time zone applies when arranging travel and allowing for daylight on rural roads. Access is by rural county roads and a private vehicle is generally needed. Road surfaces, closures, and parking arrangements can change, so confirm current access before departure and allow extra travel time for navigation, slow sections, and finding the correct stopping place. Expect a generally quiet setting with low visitor numbers, although use can vary by day and season and privacy cannot be assured. Facilities are reported as limited, so expect basic conditions without dependable on-site support. Bring drinking water, food, towels, dry clothing, sun protection, and a means to carry out trash. Do not rely on on-site supplies, shops, or assistance for water, food, or first aid. Thermal water conditions can vary, so enter cautiously, limit initial soaking time, stay hydrated, and avoid submerging the head. Rest between soaks and leave the water if feeling overheated or unwell. Leave the area clean and avoid altering pools or surrounding ground, including moving rocks or digging. Because access arrangements are unverified, confirm permission and current status locally before visiting. Mobile service may be limited in this rural area, so share plans with another person and carry paper maps or offline directions for the return trip.
