## About Bennett Springs

Bennett Springs lies about twelve miles from Pioche, Lincoln County, Nevada. The water is barely warm, the low end of what anyone calls thermal. Nobody would call it soaking water. It has a USGS site record and a water analysis from 1985 showing neutral pH with some iron. Ownership and public access are both missing from the file.

Sixty-some feet from a road, so you will not be hiking. The elevation is moderate for eastern Nevada, high enough that nineteen inches of snow fall in a typical season. The climate is dry otherwise. No land unit is named, and no designation. Who manages the ground is unanswered.

The season on record is winter, though with that snowfall the road could be the deciding factor. Access is not on file; find out before you stop. Cooler than your skin, so this is a spring to look at more than sit in. No camping or fee is listed. The chemistry is from 1985, and the entry includes a photo.
