It’s obvious that Idaho is home to stunning and peaceful rivers, lakes and other bodies of water – however a concealed sanctuary takes the cake for its crystal clear waters.
The properly created Blue Heart Springs includes a few of the bluest and clearest waters in Idaho and is said to be formed like a human heart.
“The water is so clear it will appear as if you are floating in the air!,” Visit Southern Idaho’s website notes. “Look to the bottom of the water and watch sand bubble up as the spring water emerges from the ground below.”
About a two-hour drive from Boise, the cove lies on the Snake River in Thousand Springs State Park in Southern Idaho near Hagerman and Buhl.
The just method to see it is by boat as the water is not available by driving or treking to it. Visitors will need to paddle to Blue Heart Springs utilizing a kayak, or paddleboard, or turn their boat engine off when they arrive as engines aren’t allowed.
“Although it is an exclusive spot, locals go on a regular basis,” its website goes on to note. “Follow their lead and keep the area as clean as possible.”
Visit Southern Idaho’s website likewise keeps in mind that the water remains cool at about 58 degrees – even in the heat of summer season.
The finest method to get to the springs is by parking at the boat launch at Banbury Hot Springs where individuals can lease a kayak or paddleboard. It takes about one hour from the boat launch to paddle to the sanctuary.
