The Firehole River Swimming Area in Yellowstone National Park is a popular spot for a refreshing dip, but it's important to follow the rules. Swimming is only allowed during designated hours, and make sure you wear your bathing suit! No food or drinks are allowed, and be cautious around the cold, fast waters. Remember to stay safe and respect the park rules while enjoying this beautiful natural swimming hole.

The river is usually closed to swimming until mid-summer due to high water and strong currents. During years with significant snowpack and runoff, the swim area may remain closed for the entire season. Check the current conditions page for status. Water wings are allowed and life jackets are recommended.
