The rule here
This is a thermal feature to see, not a place to get in the water. Mount Rainier National Park puts it this way:
“The hot springs can be viewed along the Hot Springs Nature Trail, which starts behind the visitor center.”

Worth knowing: The 1900s resort closed in 1960 and, in the park’s words, “the hot spring area was also restored to a more natural state and the resort buildings were removed.” The Ohanapecosh Campground and visitor center are closed for construction through November 2026.
