A boardwalk circuit through steaming mud pools and hot springs beside the lake. It's an easy 20-30 minute stroll you can do before or after a soak at the pools next door.

Good to know

  • Stay on the boardwalk, the ground is scalding
  • Wear shoes, not jandals
  • Combine with a swim at the lake nearby
