## About Ninemile Springs

Ninemile Springs in Humboldt County is a warm spring, tepid by hot spring standards, about 58 miles from Winnemucca. The water is cooler than body heat. No landowner or access status is on file. What is on file is a water sample from 1959 showing low dissolved solids, not much mineral in it at all.

Ninemile Road runs within a tenth of a mile, so there's barely any walking. The elevation is low for northern Nevada, under 4,500 feet, and the year is dry, ten inches of precipitation with around two feet of snow in winter. Nothing on the record describes the pool or the ground around it.

The record rates the winter months best. Getting there is easy once you are on Ninemile Road. At this temperature the water will feel cool in winter air, which is worth weighing against the season rating. No campground listed. Access and ownership are unknown, so look into that first. The chemistry on file is from the Eisenhower years and has not been rechecked.
