## About Lidy Hot Springs

Lidy Hot Springs is in Clark County, sixteen miles from Dubois. Hot water, hotter than anyone would sit in untempered. There is no owner in our data and no access status, and there is no water chemistry on file, only a temperature and a USGS site number. The road is close; the walk in is a matter of a few hundred feet.

Roughly 500 feet from a road our data leaves nameless. Elevation is fifty-three hundred feet in dry country, a foot of precipitation annually and snow of around three feet. For camping the record lists Birch Creek Campground, seventeen miles out. Neither a land manager nor a land unit is on record.

December through February are the driest months on our chart. The water needs cooling before contact; test before you step in. Find out whether the land is private first; our data does not say. No fee is listed and the temperature has no survey date attached.
