## About Springs

A single word, Springs, is all the USGS gave this thermal point a mile and a half from Indian Hills in Douglas County. The water comes out right at the edge of soaking warmth, about like a lukewarm bath. No landowner is logged, and nothing says whether you may walk onto the ground. Washoe Springs Road passes close by, which makes the ownership question a practical one.

Under four hundred feet on foot from Washoe Springs Road. This is the wetter end of Nevada, where snow can pile up around six feet over a winter and precipitation reaches roughly twenty inches in a year. Who holds the land has never been set down, and it carries no designation.

The cold months rate best on the record, and with this much snow a winter visit likely means snow on the ground near the road. The nearest camping listed is Zephyr Cove RV & Campground, under ten miles off. Access class is a short walk. Ownership and permission are blank, so find out who controls the ground before you go. No chemistry or fee is on record.
