Closed. Star Plunge, the commercial pool complex inside Hot Springs State Park, has been shut since January 14, 2025, when its management agreement expired in the middle of a court fight over the concession. On July 31, 2026 Wyoming State Parks announced a tentative settlement meant to let it reopen under a new long-term concessionaire, but it hasn't named one or set a date. Treat it as closed until the state posts an opening. In the meantime, the free State Bath House and Hellie's Tepee Pools are open in the same park.
