Unnamed Thermal Spring
This unnamed thermal point in Owyhee County sits on public ground that the Bureau of Land Management manages, about 22 miles from Homedale. The record lists it as hot without giving a temperature, so no one can say from here if it is soakable. Access is open. What the record does have is a water analysis, which is more than most unnamed springs can claim.
One mile of walking, which the listing still calls a short walk, from a road it never names. BLM ground, run out of the Vale office. For this region it counts as low desert at a bit over three thousand feet, and it stays dry through the year with only light snow.
No best months are on file for this one. Access is open and there is no fee on record. The water chemistry dates from June 1992 and shows alkaline water carrying calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate and chloride; that is a thirty-year-old sample, so treat it as background. Since the temperature is not recorded, do not plan a soak around it. No campground is listed.
The water at This spring is alkaline (pH 8.9).
