The thermal behavior of a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chain doped by donor impurities was analyzed. The ground state of such a chain corresponds to the formation of a set of ferromagnetically correlated regions localized near impurities (bound magnetic polarons). At finite temperatures, the magnetic structure of the chain was calculated simultaneously with the wave function of a conduction electron bound by an impurity. The calculations were performed using an approximate variational method and a Monte Carlo simulation. Both these methods give similar results. The analysis of the temperature dependence of correlation functions for neighboring local spins demonstrated that the ferromagnetic correlations inside a magnetic polaron remain significant even above the N\'eel temperature $T_N$ implying rather high stability of the magnetic polaron state. In the case when the electron-impurity coupling energy $V$ is not too high (for $V$ lower that the electron hopping integral $t$), the magnetic polaron could be depinned from impurity retaining its magnetic structure. Such a depinning occurs at temperatures of the order of $T_N$. At even higher temperatures ($T \sim t$) magnetic polarons disappear and the chain becomes completely disordered.
