## About Willow Spring

A warm spring on BLM ground in Beaver County, Willow Spring sits well out from Milford, something like eighteen miles. The water is tepid, warm enough to feel and nowhere near bath heat. The Cedar City Field Office manages the land and access is open. High desert country, mild mineral content, and there is a photo of it on file.

The road goes unnamed in the record. Leave it and another fifth of a mile on foot gets you in. The elevation puts it in high sagebrush country where winter drops a fair amount of snow and the rest of the year stays dry. Hanging Rock Campground lies a little over four miles away, the nearest camping the record knows of.

December through February rank highest for a visit, though snow at this height can slow the approach. Open public land, no fee recorded. The chemistry on file comes from a sample taken in 1963 and the temperature reading is that old too, so the warmth today may not match.
