## About Mores Creek Hot Spring

A thermal spring in Ada County a dozen or so miles from Boise. What Mores Creek Hot Spring is on the ground is thinly recorded. The temperature is listed only as hot, with no figure, and nothing is entered for who owns the land or for public access. Reaching it takes a walk of four hundred feet or so from East Spring Shores Road.

Low foothill elevation for Idaho, around three thousand feet, with a mild average climate and modest precipitation. Snow comes in winter, though in amounts that do not shut the area for months the way the mountain springs get shut. The approach is short. Macks Creek Campground is close, under three miles. Beyond that the record has nothing on the surroundings.

No season is flagged as best. The short walk and low elevation make this a spring you could reach most of the year, with winter road conditions being the variable. Macks Creek Campground is the obvious place to stay. Before you plan around it, find out who owns the ground and if soaking is allowed, because neither is on record, and assume the water may be hotter than you expect since no temperature figure was filed.
