Crohare Spring
Crohare Spring emerges at 70°F from protected conservation lands near Livermore, flowing barely 9 degrees above ambient temperature. This modest thermal feature on Tri Valley Conservancy easement represents a gentle geothermal anomaly in the rolling grasslands of eastern Alameda County.

The landscape supports diverse native vegetation and wildlife habitat protected under conservation easement, creating a preserved natural setting away from development pressure.
The spring is accessible by a short walk of roughly 900 feet through protected lands. Visitation occurs through conservation lands open to public access. The nearby Livermore area provides services and facilities, making this an accessible destination for day visits to observe modest thermal activity in a conserved landscape.
