Horseshoe Springs is a warm spring on open BLM ground in Tooele County, a dozen or so miles from Grantsville. Access is recorded as open. The water runs lukewarm, the sort of temperature you would wade in on a cold day and think about for a minute afterward.

Location

The Salt Lake Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management manages the land, which is flagged as public. You can park and walk a few hundred feet; no trail or grade is described on file. Elevation is low desert basin by Utah standards, a bit over four thousand feet, and the climate is dry, with a light winter snowfall compared with the mountain springs around the state.

Best months listed are December through February. Because it is roadside and on public land, winter access should mostly come down to road conditions on the day. Loop Campground is the closest camping logged, about ten miles out. No water chemistry has been sampled here, so the mineral content is unrecorded. No fee is noted.
