ASTORIA HOT SPRINGS

Astoria has a strong COVID plan in place to provide a safe and healthy environment including a symptoms check prior to entry, reduced maximum capacities in each pool and changing room, and encouraged mask wearing when not soaking.

Our maximum capacity for each session is 60. A break between sessions gives staff time to disinfect the changing rooms, all high touch surfaces and other public spaces.

Show up ready to swim with limited personal items. Only 4 people are allowed in each changing room at one time. Astoria does not provide towels, but we do sell basic white ones if you are in need. Make sure you bring your bathing suit, as Astoria does not have any for sell.

The check-in process occurs outside prior to entry and includes a symptoms check and a short staff talk. A maximum of 8 people can enter the Welcome Center at a time. Masks are encouraged when not soaking. Each pool has a maximum capacity, and social distancing is required at all times including in the pools.

Social distancing, wearing masks are a must, and remember, if you do not feel 100% with cold or flu-like symptoms, please do not enter Astoria Hot Springs.

Yes! Astoria’s pools are all fed by natural hot springs, with individual flows to each pool so that we are able to control temperatures to maintain comfort in each pool.

Astoria’s mineral water includes magnesium, free sulfur, calcium, potassium, sodium, chloride, and alkalinity. These minerals each have been said to have specific health benefits, including reducing inflammation, soothing skin conditions, increasing oxygen levels in blood and many, many more.

Astoria’s soaking pools are designed in a flow-through system, which allows our pools to be free of chlorine. The only exception is the Children’s Pool which has small, safe amounts of chlorine added. This pool is on a closed loop, chlorine-filtration system that neutralizes any water being reintroduced into the Snake River. All water that enters the Snake River is chemical-free.

Natural hot springs minerals are not known to damage bathing suits any differently than chlorine or regular wear does. Consider removing your silver jewelry before soaking. If you don't, don't worry. Simply use a polishing cloth. Floating devices for small children will be allowed but regulated. Please check back here for more information about floating devices coming soon.

Showering before entering the pool area is strongly advised and ensures the pools remain clean for our visitors. Once you've entered the facilities, sunscreen should be worn and it can be worn in our pools. During COVID-19, please arrive ready to swim, as the changing rooms will have a very limited capacity.
