Located just north of Thermopolis, the
Fountain of Youth Recreational Vehicle Park
boasts the third largest hot mineral pool in the World. The pool is fed by the Sacajawea Well, named for the Indian Squaw who led Lewis and Clark to the Pacific. At an elevation of 3,947 feet, our bone warming 100 degree F pool will make you forget your worries.
Your hosts Tom and Mary Berry bought the Fountain of Youth in 1978. They emphasize a personal approach and have a high percentage of return visitors.
Currently, the well flows at the rate of 1.3 million gallons of 128 degree F water each 24 hours. The pool measures 235 feet by 72 feet and holds 84,600 cubic feet of water. With 1.3 million gallons flowing from Sacajawea every 24 hours, the water in the pool is exchanged every 11 hours. The hot mineral waters have been known to help many physical disorders, are wonderfully relaxing, and they serve to greatly ease tension and occupational fatigue. The Fountain of Youth hosts between 75-100 Baptisms a year from local churches and conventions and is the summer home of many "snowbirds". From May to September this year they hosted over 5,000 units, and had almost 26,000 visitors arriving in everything from tents and vans, to 1/2 million dollar motor homes.
