Nearby springs
Meadow Hot Springs
Travertine spring pools in a farmer's field west of Meadow, south of Fillmore, on private land the owner keeps open to the public. Visit Utah describes two pools, the deeper one around 100°F with rock shelves, and says the owner built a walking trail and fence. Posted rules require swimsuits and ban alcohol, and visitors are asked to clean up.
Baker Hot Springs
Three small concrete tubs in Utah's West Desert northwest of Delta, fed by springs at Fumarole Butte that emerge at about 180°F. Visitors mix in cold water through PVC pipes to set the temperature, and each tub fits only a few people. It is free.
Fifth Water Hot Springs (Diamond Fork)
Several soaking pools along Fifth Water Creek in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, beside a series of waterfalls, reached on foot from the Three Forks Trailhead on Diamond Fork Road. Visit Utah lists the soaking pools at about 100-102°F. The Forest Service warns that harmful bacteria may be present and advises not dunking your head and showering after soaking.
