## About Hobo Hot Springs

Hobo Hot Springs sits on the Stewart Community, tribal land in Douglas County a couple of miles from Indian Hills. The water is hot, above what most people soak in without cooling. Public access is unknown, and because the ground is tribal, that matters more than usual. Snow is heavy here in winter.

Roadside, with the nearest road about 250 feet away, in upland country where winters bring heavy snow, close to six feet a season; the year is on the wet side. The land designation is tribal. No chemistry is on record and the road is nameless in the record. A USGS site number is attached.

The listed months are December through February, when snow is a given. At this temperature skin needs only moments to burn, so test before you touch. Ask the Stewart Community before visiting, since access is unknown and the land is tribal. No fee listed. Camping is available at Zephyr Cove RV & Campground about eight miles out.
