Warm Springs Creek Hot Springs
Despite the mild name, Warm Springs Creek Hot Springs is scalding at the source, far beyond anything a person could enter. It lies on Castle Meadow Drive in Boise County, roughly twenty-four miles from Idaho City. Land ownership and public access are both missing from the record. The 1978 chemistry shows moderate dissolved solids, including iron, in mildly alkaline water.
Castle Meadow Drive all but touches the spring, three yards away by the record, so this is a drive-up thermal feature with no walk at all. It lies at about thirty-five hundred feet. Snowfall averages about a hundred inches a year. The climate is moderately wet. No land unit or owner is named.
The recorded best months are the heart of winter. Swinging Bridge campground lies six or seven miles out. The water can scald instantly at the source; never enter without testing, and stay clear of the vent. Whether the public may visit is not on record, so find out before you drive in. The reading dates from November 1978.
