Location
0 miles from Battle Mountain, NV

Roughly 500 feet of walking from an unnamed road. Mid elevation basin land, dry, light snow in winter. Battle Mountain is close by road. Bureau of Reclamation ground. No chemistry and no USGS site. No campground. No photo either, and no second name from OpenStreetMap. Nothing says the road is kept open in winter.

Winter is what the record lists for season. The water can burn; go carefully. Access is unknown on Reclamation land, so ask the bureau or look for signs. No fee recorded. The spring has no USGS site number, so the temperature source is not stated.
