Larson Springs
Larson Springs is another of the Cassia County warm springs near Burley that USGS catalogued in the mid 1960s, this one roughly eighteen miles from town. Its water is tepid, about the temperature of a swimming pool in late summer. No one has recorded an owner, an access rule, or a fee.
17600 North is the road, and the spring sits a few hundred feet off it, so the walking part is brief once you spot the right turn. Elevation runs a little over 5,500 feet. The climate leans dry and a winter will bring somewhere around two feet of snow. There is no named land unit here and no designation attached.
Winter is the listed season. Clear Creek Campground is the nearest camping on record, a little over nine miles off. The mineral reading on file is from 1966 and nothing newer exists; it showed fairly mineral water. Access is unknown, so check it.
The water at Larson Springs is slightly alkaline (pH 8.0) with 795 mg/L total dissolved solids. It is notably rich in chloride (natural antiseptic with skin health benefits).
Clear Creek Campground is a non-fee campground and picnic area composed of 12 individual units and reservations are not required. This area is accessible for a season that varies usually between June through October. Campground amenities include toilets and the campground is well suited for tent and RV camping. Sites are handicapped accessible. Bull Flat (#001) and Lake Fork (#004) trails are popular with horseback riders, and hikers.
Larson Springs sits at 5,540 feet above sea level, way above the mile-high mark. You may not feel the altitude strongly, but hot water still dehydrates you faster at elevation. UV is about 22% stronger than at sea level, so bring sunscreen and drink more water than you normally would.
