## About Indian Springs

Indian Springs in Power County is four miles from American Falls, with a road of the same name running close by and a campground under two miles off. Ninety-degree water, which is the cool end of soaking. Neither owner nor access status has been recorded, and the only chemistry dates to a 1972 USGS visit.

Indian Springs Road runs within about five hundred feet. Elevation is forty-five hundred feet, with moderate snow, around three feet, and a fairly dry climate. Pipeline Campground is close, under two miles. No land manager is listed, and there is no land designation either, so the question of who to ask about access stays open.

Winter rates driest by our data. It is a short walk in. With no access status recorded, watch for posting at the road. The water was sampled in 1972 and the pH came back near neutral; nothing newer exists. No fee is on file, and no agency is listed as managing the ground.
