Hot springs

Ash Springs is home to naturally occurring hot springs. The hot springs are located on BLM land. The water emerges from several springs at a temperature of 97 °F/36 °C, and cools to 95 °F as it flows into a large mineral water soaking pool approximately 15 feet in diameter. The pool is a known habitat for Naegleria fowleri. A young boy contracted the parasite while swimming in July 2023. He died several days later.
