## About Coalinga Mineral Springs

A state-run public access site in the dry country of western Fresno County, about thirteen miles out of Coalinga, with water that comes up hot. The record lists it as open, and the spring sits close beside the road that carries its name. No water chemistry is on record and the listing carries no campground.

Coalinga Mineral Springs Road runs right past it. From the road you cover under three hundred feet to reach the water. The land is a state public access parcel named for the spring itself and flagged as a recreation site. Elevation is missing from the record. Rainfall is scant and snow does not happen; the yearly average temperature is mild.

Winter is the season the record favors, December through February, when hot water makes sense against cool air. Access is roadside, so no walking to speak of. The water is hot enough that you will want to test it with a hand before sitting down. Nothing on file covers fees or hours, and no campground is tied to this spring, so plan to sleep in Coalinga or bring your own arrangements.
