This one is a seep, a USGS thermal point in Clark County a few miles outside Moapa Valley. The water is tepid, the kind you would notice as warm on your hand and nothing more. No one has put an owner or an access status on record for it, so treat it as a dot on the map until you know more.

Location
12 miles from Moapa Valley, NV

It sits on the low desert floor a stone's throw from Cooper Street. Winters are mild here and snow is close to nonexistent. Rain is scarce too, six inches or so in a typical year. Summers run hot, which is why the record points to December through February as the comfortable time to go looking.

Winter is the season. Access is roadside, close enough that you park and you are there. Echo Bay Campground is the nearest place to camp on file, about eighteen miles off. Land ownership and access rules are both blank, so check before you cross anything. The temperature comes from a USGS reading, and a seep this cool may not repay the detour.
