If outdoor recreation is in your plans you will find
hiking, biking and skiing in the surrounding
mountains. Enjoy cross-country skiing in Lava's hills
and mountains. Take in an
exhilarating day of downhill skiing at Pebble Creek Ski
Area.
Cool off on a hot summer day at the
Olympic Swim Complex or tubing down the Portneuf
River. Warm up on a cold winter day with a soak in the
pristine mineral water at
Idaho’s World Famous Hot Springs, especially soothing
after a day of skiing or hiking. You can go fishing
along the banks of the Portneuf River in Lava and several
locations nearby including Chesterfield Reservoir and Bear
River. Idaho State fishing permits are required and
available in Lava.
Historical
tours of Lava Hot Springs can be arranged for those
interested in the history of this long established
resort community, founded in 1915. For
over 100 years people have come to Lava Hot Springs
to partake of the healing waters. Before white
man settled here Indians of the Northwest gathered
at the hot mineral waters to bathe, rest and
worship. This area was neutral ground shared
by all tribes. We encourage you to visit the
Bannock Historical Museum on Main Street to
discover more about Lava Hot Springs and the
surrounding area.
Main
Street is adorned with a variety of unique shops, a
library and dining establishments, many of which are
family owned and operated. Several city parks are
available for picnics. Supplies can be purchased at the
local grocery store. The Lions Club offers Bingo every
Wednesday & Friday evening and Sunday afternoon at the
Blue Moon Saloon. There is a walking path at the Lions
Park & Rodeo Arena near the river.
