The town of Ainsworth has a population of around 100 permanent residents, but back in the 1880’s, at the peak of the mining activity, approximately 3000 people lived in the town.



Ainsworth Hot Springs is a MUST SEE! The resort was developed around the original, natural hot springs and there is a large outside hot pool to relax in and enjoy the scenery.


What makes Ainsworth Hot Springs so unique are the caves. They are horse-shoe shaped and this is where the darkness, the mineral deposits and the humidity all combine for the most exhilarating experience! Hot steamy water falls from the cave’s roof providing an odorless shower of mineral water…. (not the place to be if you don’t want to get your hair wet!!) The pool inside the cave is about waist deep and the temperature is around 40 degrees C. The Cody Caves is the natural water source for the hot springs.
