## About L.G. Carter Springs

L.G. Carter Springs carries a person's name and very little else on the record. It is a warm spring in Cassia County, twenty miles from Burley, with water that would feel pleasant on the hand and disappointing in a tub. USGS logged it and sampled it in 1966. Ownership is not recorded.

North 51600 West Road is the nearest road on file, about a fifth of a mile off, so reaching the spring is a short walk over whatever ground lies between. The elevation is mid-range, around 5,400 feet, with a dry climate and modest winter snow. No land manager is listed, and no designation.

Winter months head the list on record. Clear Creek Campground sits within about ten miles if you want to camp. The chemistry and temperature were measured once, sixty years ago, and nothing since. Whoever owns the land has not been noted, so check before crossing anything fenced.
