Hooper Springs Park

Nice place to walk around. Beautiful area. The spring sits under a roofed structure. It's cold crystal clear soda spring water. You can see the bubbles popping up. Very neat.

Great little spot to stop and hang for a picnic or just a quick little visit. You can even drink the water from the spring, however not the best tasting water...

Such a fun park, my family has been stopping here on our way back from Wyoming for over 25 years. We love all the playground equipment that you just don't see anymore like merry go rounds and teeter totters. Our favorite part is the giant painted tires that we have to get pictures in. We do also fill all our water bottles and jugs with soda water, we like adding flavor to it.

Compared to the other “spring” park in town (Octagon Springs), this one is a little bit bigger but the main attraction is still the soda spring. To me the water tasted similar to Octagon with strong iron flavor but is substantially less carbonated. Bring some lemonade powder to mask the iron. We drove over from Twin Falls and made a day out of Oregon Trail related stops in the area and had a great time enjoying the springs.

This is such a fun little park! The carbonated water spring is really neat (I personally did NOT like the taste, but it's clean and really cold!). The setting of the park, nestled up against the hillside, is really peaceful. Lots of shade, lots of fun toys for the kids to play on (with old school teeter-totter and spinning merry-go-round). There's a really nice reservable picnic shelter for large group gatherings, with electricity, running water (that's not carbonated 😁), and restroom facilities.

On New Year's Eve, it snows heavily. We were the only people there, and filled up some bottles. I'm not a fan of the taste due to my aversion to carbonated drinks, however it is as many others have described. Slightly sweet and carbonated. The waterfall roars so loudly. We had fun being there for half an hour, then saw the lava pouring from Monsanto, then questioned ourselves whether the bubbly water was safe to drink.

I loved that I was at a place that countless people on the trails have been to that drank from the same spring I did when I was here. The taste was wasted on me since I am not a fan of carbonated water but I also didn't have anything to flavor it with either! The town of Soda Springs has absolutely given their visitors a wonderful place to hang out! Thank you!!!

Pleasantly surprised!!! We just came upon this place and a local family told us all about this cold soda water spring. They shared their lemonade powder packets with us to enjoy the naturally carbonated soda water from the spring. If you get the chance, don’t miss out on stopping by this beautiful little park.

So fun. Bring a little water flavoring and some cups. The park next door is the best!

I would highly recommend this spot. They have a small spring that’s safe to drink. It’s fresh carbonated water that comes out of the earth. We brought small water flavor packs to put into our cups and tasted like soda pop. Such a unique experience. They also have a playground which was fun for all ages.

What an Awesome place! I got some natural soda water! It was Great! I Love natural sources of water! What a must to come visit if You are near or around the Lava Hotsprings area! Definitely worth the drive to go check this place out! The water tastes like clean pure soda water!

Amazing place. The spring was fun, and if you like natural seltzer water, then come get some. Otherwise, the best part was the kid play park. I was amazed at the old school playground they had. Metal slide, teeter totter, and other fun things. The playground was a very pleasant, well-maintained surprise.

This place is so cool! 😎
There is a spring that is actually bubbling with natural spring soda water. 👀
Yes, you can drink it. 😯
Also, there’s a playground and picnic tables.🧺
If you’re traveling through, you should stop and see the springs and let the kids run off a little energy. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

I have never been to this area of South East Idaho, but have had friend that say its a place you have to visit at least once. This is a cool place, I am not a soda drinker, but did try the water, it is very much like carbonated bottled water, taste is something to be desired but an interesting experience non the less.

This would be a really cool little park to visit in the summer with family and friends, just off where the spring comes up out of the ground is a water fall coming out of the side of the mountain.

Amazing gem! Bring a water bottle and some flavor packets to make your own "soda". Parking and access is great, you are right there. Friendly locals. Highlight of our trip

I thought it was a hot spring so that's why I went lol but I was not disappointed. I just read too quick. So there is a spring, and it is a cold, natural soda water spring. You cannot swim in in, but you can drink it. I probably wouldn't drink a lot unless I was dehydrated cuz it wasn't the best flavor, but it wasn't bad and I'm glad I tried it. There's a playground, basketball court, river, and grassy area with benches. Super cute little hidden gem in my opinion. So glad we stopped, it's a unique little pit stop.

Can get some great nasty tasting water here!!! Most definitely have to have the taste for it. But, not to far from the water spring, is a really fun park. The first time here in the winter and I say come here in the summer time. There's tables and grills to have a BBQ. Great family outing place!!

Beautiful clean park, and the water made a fun treat! Stopped in at a store in soda to get multiple different drink flavorings so we had lots of options! Super fun

The water at the spring might have been the best water I’ve ever tasted! The water tastes like sparkling Pellegrino! This place is an absolute must go to if your in the area, you won’t find another experience like it! :)

Loved visiting this park. We came up for Dragon Fyre Faire and camped on site. The park was beautiful and well taken care of, the spring was cold and amazing, and the playground was a blast. We loved seeing the older play things and the tire mountain was so cool. I can't wait for next year when we come up and visit again.
