## About Pahrump (Bennetts) Spring

Pahrump Spring goes by Bennetts Spring too, a tepid source in the Pahrump area of Nye County, little more than a mile out of town and only a few feet off Firebird Circle. Think bath water that has been sitting a while. Nobody documented access and no owner is named. It does carry a USGS site number.

Eight feet from Firebird Circle, per the record, which makes it about as roadside as a spring gets. Low desert, hot summers, five inches of rain, snow rarely. Nothing on file about who holds the land, and No designation and land unit is on record. The climate average sits in the high sixties, so even midwinter days are mild.

December to February is the window that got written down. The spring sits a few feet off a named street, which makes it stranger that nothing on record names an owner or grants the public permission. Sort that out before you drive. McWilliams campground is the nearest listed, about eighteen miles off.
