## About Lackawanna Hot Springs

On the outskirts of Ely, barely over a mile from town, Lackawanna Hot Springs comes out at soaking temperature. That is body-warm water, comfortable to sit in if there is anywhere to sit, which nobody has recorded. It lies in White Pine County at over six thousand feet. Public access has not been documented.

Bothwick Road passes within two hundred feet of the spring. This is high basin country, cold for much of the year. Ely averages under fifty degrees and gets close to four feet of snow, so expect white ground through the winter months. Land ownership for the site is not listed, and neither is any managing agency.

Winter is the listed season, and with water this warm it makes sense, provided the road is plowed. Ward Mountain Campground at Murray Summit is the camping option on file, roughly seven miles off. Nothing says who owns the ground or whether the public is welcome, so ask in Ely before walking down to it.
