Nimrod Hot Springs, a longtime hidden gem tucked along I-90 between Missoula and Drummond, has officially gone from a favorite roadside soak to a no-go zone, according to a recent article on 963TheBlaze.com. For decades, locals and travelers enjoyed its natural warm waters and adventurous underwater cave, but the property owners have now pulled the plug on public access. T
The Granite County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that trespassers could face prosecution. While the closure is a bummer for those who made memories there, Nimrod was always private property, just generously shared with the public. The bottom line? The good times may be over, but respecting the landowner’s decision is the only way to keep those memories from turning into a trespassing ticket.
While some are up in arms over the landowner pulling the plug on public access, others understand that private land is private land and feel lucky they got to enjoy this Montana gem while they could. Is it a loss worth making waves over, or simply a case of respecting the landowner’s right to say no? Where do you stand?
