A pool fed by a warm spring
No chlorine, no crowds, and a canyon that sits 12–15° cooler than St. George all summer long.
Veyo Pool has been open since 1927, and it is filled by a natural warm spring rather than a municipal line. We do not add chemicals to it. People are often surprised by how the water feels — soft, clean, and refreshing rather than hot.
That last part matters, because the pool is regularly mistaken for a hot spring. It is not. The spring that feeds it is warm, but the pool itself is a swimming pool, and on a July afternoon it is the coolest place for miles. The canyon walls shade it for much of the day, which is why the whole property runs well below St. George temperatures.
Around the pool there are private decks and patios you can reserve for the afternoon, the Lava Grill is a few steps away, and the creek — full of crawdads — runs right past. It is the kind of place where a family shows up at ten and leaves at closing.
Questions we get asked
Is Veyo Pool a hot spring?
No. The pool is fed by a natural warm spring, but the water is refreshing rather than hot — it is a swimming pool, and the canyon around it is noticeably cooler than town.
Do you add chlorine to the pool?
No chemicals are added. The pool is continuously fed by the spring.
How much is it to swim?
An $18 day pass covers swimming and everything else in the canyon. Kids under 2 are free, and punch passes bring it down to $13 or $9 a visit.
Can we reserve a spot by the pool?
Yes — private decks and patios are bookable by the time slot, and riverside picnic sites are available from 11am to 4pm.
