Information
Natural hot water here has been a popular attraction for thousands of years. Long an Indian winter village site, the area was homesteaded in 1881 by Oregon Trail pioneers Milford and Mattie Givens. A pool and hotel were built in the 1880s to accommodate travelers, Silver City miners seeking arthritis relief, and local residents coming out for diversion. The hotel burned down in 1939, and was replaced by cabins that are still in use today. The current poolhouse was built in 1952. Givens celebrated it's 125th Anniversary in 2006, and is still a popular place to swim and soak in the 95-100 degree water. It's also a great place for family reunions, birthday parties, company picnics and swims. Boating and fishing are available on the nearby Snake River. Within a 45-mile radius of Givens there are two museums, Indian petroglyphs, ATV trails, and Silver City - an historic mining town.
