Hooper Springs Park

Soda Springs, ID

Hooper Springs, located one mile north of Soda Springs in Caribou County, Idaho, is a naturally carbonated cold-water spring that Oregon Trail emigrants documented as one of the most remarkable natural curiosities along the western route. Sarah White Smith wrote that the water was 'excellent for baking bread' and that it 'tastes like soda water.' W.H. Hooper, a Salt Lake City banker and Utah's congressional delegate, made his summer home near the spring and promoted the Soda Springs region nationally after rail service arrived in 1882. Today the City of Soda Springs manages the site as a community park.
