This trailhead is located just south of the South Gardner River Bridge on the North Entrance Road. The Boiling River Trail follows the Gardner River a half mile upstream to where a large hot spring known as Boiling River emerges from under a travertine ledge and flows about 500 feet to enter the Gardner River. This is one of the few areas in the National Park where swimming is allowed but only in the Gardner River. The hot and the cold water mix in pools along the river's edge. Bathers are allowed in the river during daylight hours only. Bathing suits are required, and no alcoholic beverages are allowed. The area is closed in the springtime due to hazardous high water and often does not reopen until mid-summer.
The trail continues on to Mammoth Campground.
