Nestled alongside the Crystal River, the Penny Hot Springs feature a half dozen pools that max out at 130 degrees, with temperatures decreasing the closer you get to the river.

Unlike other natural, primitive hot springs, Penny is easy to access, as it is located just beyond the parking lot and requires minimal hiking.
