Grover Hot Springs
Located in beautiful Alpine Country, Grover Hot Springs State Park is just 40 minutes from South Lake Tahoe. Hawkins and Markleeville Peaks overlook this rustic park where water from six natural hot springs is caught and routed into one large soaking pool. The water issues from the earth at 140 degrees F. and is cooled to 102-104 degrees F. for the hot pool. There is very little sulfur in the water and the main ingredient is sodium carbonate. There is a cooler swimming pool adjacent to the hot pool. Lifeguards are on duty. Suit and towel rentals are available. Showers, too! The hot springs are open year-round. Hours are 9:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. during the summer. During the winter, hours are 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The hot springs are always closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. In the winter, it is best to call ahead for weather and road conditions. The nominal fee is $4.00 per adult and $2.00 for youth under 18. You may want to add some variety to your day by taking a hike on one of the many trails that leave from the state park onto federal lands. More trails are within easy driving distance of the park.
