## About Rush Warm Spring

Rush Warm Spring is a tepid spring in Blaine County, about twenty miles from Bellevue and a bit under half a mile off Austin Road. The water is only a little above room temperature, a long way from a hot soak. Nothing is on record about ownership or public access, and no campground is listed near it.

Dry ground, moderately high, with scant precipitation and a snow season that rarely tops four feet, so the ground is open most of the year. The approach is a walk of under half a mile from Austin Road. Neither a land owner nor a management unit is recorded, and the record has nothing to say about the surroundings or the source itself.

Winter is the flagged season, which for water this cool seems a stretch. Warm weather would serve it better. No camping is on file anywhere near it. No fee in the record. Settle the question of land ownership before visiting. The temperature comes from a USGS site record and there is no date on it.
