## About Mcgill Spring

Mcgill Spring sits less than a mile from the town of McGill in White Pine County, a warm spring at six thousand feet whose water is comfortable on the skin, a long way from hot. The nearest road is McGill Pool Road, and the spring is close enough to it to count as roadside. Public access is not recorded.

McGill Pool Road passes about a hundred feet from the spring, which puts the water a short stroll from the car. This is high, cold country. McGill averages around fifty degrees over the year, and three and a half feet of snow is normal. Nothing in the record names an owner or a managing agency.

Midwinter is the season on record, which in White Pine County means snow and cold air against warm water. Bird Creek Campground is the camping on file, under eight miles away. Learn who owns the ground before you go; it is not recorded, and the site sits close to a town.
