ava Hot Springs is a friendly, vibrant community rich
in western history and natural resources, offering a
satisfying variety of summer and winter activities.
Long before white settlers discovered the natural, odor-free
mineral waters in this quiet valley, the Bannock and Shoshone
Indian tribes gathered here to bathe, rest, and worship. For
centuries, the Indians paid tribute to the Great Spirit for the
curative powers of these springs and set the area aside as a
neutral ground to be shared in peace by all tribes.
Traders and trappers arrived in the early to mid-1800s.
Bob Dempsey set up a trading post, befriended and became
champion of the Native Peoples, and married Chief Tendoy’s
daughter Margaret, of the Lemhi tribe. The settlement that is
now Lava Hot Springs was originally called Dempsey.
The State of Idaho began developing the hot springs in 1911
and continues to administer this natural resource for all to enjoy.
