## About Utah Hot Springs

Utah Hot Springs sits at the edge of South Willard in Box Elder County, a mile and a half from the center of that town. The water is hot, close to the point where it would burn on contact, so nobody should be getting in without a cooling arrangement. The record lists no owner and no public access status. There is a photograph on file and a USGS site number.

North 2700 West passes within a foot of the spring by the record, so you could stop a car beside it if stopping is allowed. Elevation is about forty-three hundred feet, lakeside lowland for this part of Utah. Winters drop around three and a half feet of snow, and the year totals eighteen inches of moisture. As for who manages the ground, the record lists no land unit and no designation.

Winter months are rated best. The water is hot enough to scald in seconds at the source. Keep pets and children away from the outflow. Box Elder Campground is the closest camping listed, about twelve miles off. Nobody has recorded if the public is welcome, and no chemistry is on file, so smell and mineral content are unknown.
