## About Hot Lake

Hot Lake is a thermal feature in Lander County, a bit under forty miles from Battle Mountain. The record tags it hot without giving a temperature. Owner and access are blank. It is a hike to get there, close to three miles from the nearest road. That is most of what is known.

The walk in is about 2.8 miles from an unnamed road, at a little over five thousand feet. Winters drop around three feet of snow and the year brings a foot of precipitation. The record says nothing about the water itself, its size or how it is fed, and no photo exists on file.

There are no best months on record and no temperature to plan around, so treat this as a destination for someone who wants to see a thermal lake and is prepared for a long walk in with no guarantee of a soak. Check ownership before you go; no owner appears on file. No fee or campground is listed.
