## About Wilson Health Springs

Wilson Health Springs is a scalding spring inside the West Desert Test Center, a military installation in Millard County roughly sixty miles from Delta. The temperature on file is hot enough to burn skin. Public access is closed. The ground is defense land and the record lists it as shut to visitors.

A tenth of a mile separates the spring from the closest road, which has no name on the record. Low desert, dry, light winter snow and very little rain in any season. The land belongs to the defense establishment and falls within a test range, so the short walk in is one the public cannot make. No campground is listed anywhere near it.

OpenStreetMap maps the spring under the same name, and the USGS holds a thermal site record for it.

There is no practical visit here while the range stays closed. If that ever changes, the water on file is scalding and would need care. Winter months score best on paper. No chemistry has been sampled that the record shows.
