## About White House Spring

White House Spring sits in Lander County about sixteen miles from Battle Mountain. A 1992 sample found the water mildly alkaline with a modest mineral load, but the person who took it noted the temperature only as warm, so there is no figure to go on. The USGS tracks the spring as a thermal site. Nobody has recorded an owner, and public access is not on file.

Rock Creek Road runs within about fifty feet, so the spring is practically a roadside feature. Valley floor country by local standards, around forty six hundred feet, and yet the winters pile up a bit more than four feet of snow, which is a lot for the basin around Battle Mountain. The rest of the year is moderate. No campground shows up nearby.

No months are ranked. Snow makes the road the issue in winter, and the roadside position makes everything else straightforward. Since ownership is unknown, confirm before you stop and walk over. The chemistry is more than thirty years old and the temperature was never measured, so what you find may differ from what was written.
