Safety & access

Read before visiting

Verify access before driving in. The U.S. Geological Survey catalogs the geographic feature, not its access status. Hot springs in our database span the full range from developed public soaking pools to private resorts to wild thermal water on federal/state land. Some require entry fees; some are on private property; some are in National Park Service units where soaking is prohibited.

Before you go: check current conditions and access rules with the relevant land manager — National Park Service unit, U.S. Forest Service ranger district, Bureau of Land Management field office, state-park department, or the property owner if it's private. Wild thermal water can be unsafe to enter without a thermometer; surface temperatures can vary dramatically from the deeper pool. When in doubt, don't soak.

From Wikipedia: Carson Hot Springs is a natural hot spring located in Carson City, Nevada, in the Eagle Valley. The spring emits approximately 60 US gallons (230 L) of 120 °F (49 °C) geothermally heated groundwater per minute, and is the largest hot spring in the Eagle Valley. The groundwater originates at 6.6 miles (10.6 km) below the Earth's surface, and the pools at the site are filled with water pumped from the spring. Today, it is a resort that provides private indoor soaking areas, an outdoor swimming pool, massage and dining.
