Geyser: Not a Soaking Spring

Geyser Ranch Springs is a geyser, not a traditional hot spring. These geothermal features can be extremely dangerous. Boiling water, toxic gases, and unstable ground are common hazards. Do not attempt to soak.

Forty-four miles out of Ely, Geyser Ranch Springs is a tepid spring in White Pine County, a long way from anywhere. Tepid here means the water would feel about like a cool bath. No owner is named for the land and there is no word on public access, so assume it could be private until you learn otherwise.

Location

Roadside: some 200 feet from a track with no name on file. The elevation is upland, and winters here drop a fair amount of snow, with a dry year otherwise. A 1985 sample tested close to neutral. No campground is listed, no photo, no second name. The USGS number and the 1985 sample are what the record holds beyond the name.

The listed months are the winter ones. Access is blank, so find the owner before you go. The water is tepid at best and the reading dates from a decades old survey, so the spring may feel different now. Nothing about a fee is recorded.
