Norris is located on Hot Spring Creek, and for years miners, cowhands, and travelers sought out a warm bath in the Norris Plunge. Today, Norris Hot Springs offers guests a soak in mineral water pouring from the earth's depths at 120 degrees. Not far from Norris is the Bear Trap Canyon Wilderness on the Madison River. This recreation area with boat access from the south end offers rafters a nine mile float trip through whitewater and a scenic canyon with 2,000 foot cliffs; featuring the famous Class V 'Kitchen Sink' rapid as the climax of the trip.
