The Firehole Swim Area is located on the Firehole River in Yellowstone National Park, two miles south of Madison Junction on Firehole Canyon Drive. This is one of two designated swimming holes in Yellowstone, this one and the Boiling River Swimming Hole near Mammoth Hot Springs. The river is usually closed to swimming until mid-summer due to high water and strong currents and during years with significant snowpack and runoff, the swim area may remain closed for the entire season (check the current conditions page for status). Two vault toilets are the only facilities in the area. Water wings are allowed and life jackets are recommended. National Park Service
