Crystal (Madsens) Hot Springs
Crystal Hot Springs, also recorded as Madsens, is a hot spring in Box Elder County a mile and a half from Honeyville. The water is hot enough to hurt. Its other claim is salt: the dissolved solids reading is enormous, very salty water by any measure. Ownership and public access are not in the listing. A photo is.
The spring is about fourteen feet from the nearest road, as close to roadside as they come. It sits on the valley floor of northern Utah. Winters bring three and a half feet of snow and the valley gets moderate rain. The chemistry sample is recent, from March 2022.
Winter months are listed as best. At this temperature do not get in without testing; the source water can burn skin. Box Elder Campground is about fourteen miles away. Because access and ownership are blank on file, find out who controls the site before you visit.
The water at Crystal (Madsens) Hot Springs is slightly alkaline (pH 7.3) with 40700 mg/L total dissolved solids.
