Fish Lake Hot Well, also known as Fish Lake Hot Spring and Fish Lake Valley Hot Well is a geothermal hot spring in Nevada. [1]
The spring is located in the Fish Lake Valley near the town of Dyer, Nevada. [2] The White Mountains and the 13,146 foot high Boundary Peak are visible from the springs. [3] The hot spring is surrounded by mountains, and the Boundary Peak Wilderness area is visible from the spring. [4]
In the 1880s ranchers drilling for oil discovered the hot well. It was later surrounded by a well casing. Later a six-foot square concrete soaking area was added surrounded by a cement deck and wooden benches. The soaking pool over-flows into a man-made swimming hole that has been stocked with large goldfish. This warm pond flows into a second and third pond. All of the soaking pools/ponds are different temperatures, ranging from 85°F to 105°F. [4] [2] The main gravel-bottomed soaking pool is surrounded by a concrete deck and is 12' x 6'. The water then flows into several smaller, rock-lined primitive pools. There is a parking area, pit toilets, trash receptacles, barbeque pits and free camping near by. [5]
There is interest in the geothermal energy resources in the area near the hot springs. [1]
The hot mineral water emerges from the ground at a rate of 50+ gallons per minute at 105°F. [3]
Long Valley Caldera is a depression in eastern California that is adjacent to Mammoth Mountain. The valley is one of the Earth's largest calderas, measuring about 20 mi (32 km) long (east-west), 11 mi (18 km) wide (north-south), and up to 3,000 ft (910 m) deep.
The geothermal areas in Lassen Volcanic National Park include several groups of hot springs and fumaroles, as remnants of former volcanic activity, exist in Lassen Volcanic National Park in northeastern California. Most of these lie in or are closely adjacent to Mount Tehama's caldera. Bumpass Hell is the most spectacular of these, but others of importance are Sulphur Works, Little Hot Springs Valley, Boiling Springs Lake and Devil's Kitchen. In each thermal area, the highest temperature of water generally is close to the boiling temperature at the altitude of the particular spring or fumarole — 198 °F (92 °C) at Bumpass Hell and 191 °F (88 °C) on the northwest flanks of Lassen Peak. Temperatures as high as 230 °F (110 °C) have been recorded in the park.
Saline Valley is a large, deep, and arid graben, about 27 miles (43 km) in length, in the northern Mojave Desert of California, a narrow, northwest–southeast-trending tectonic sink defined by fault-block mountains. Most of it became a part of Death Valley National Park when the park was expanded in 1994. This area had previously been administered by the Bureau of Land Management. It is located northwest of Death Valley proper, south of Eureka Valley, and east of the Owens Valley. The valley's lowest elevations are about 1,000 ft (300 m) and it lies in the rain shadow of the 14,000 ft (4,300 m) Sierra Nevada range, plus the 11,000 ft (3,400 m) Inyo Mountains bordering the valley on the west.
Alvord Hot Springs is a geothermal spring located in Harney County in southeastern Oregon in the United States.
Umpqua Hot Springs are a group of geothermal springs located along the North Umpqua River in the U.S. state of Oregon at 2,640 feet (800 m) elevation.
The Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley is the hydrothermal system created on 10 June 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera, on the North Island of New Zealand. It encompasses Lake Rotomahana, the site of the Pink and White Terraces, as well as the location of the Waimangu Geyser, which was active from 1900 to 1904. The area has been increasingly accessible as a tourist attraction and contains Frying Pan Lake, which is the largest hot spring in the world, and the steaming and usually pale blue Inferno Crater Lake, the largest geyser-like feature in the world although the geyser itself cannot be seen since it plays at the bottom of the lake.
Summer Lake Hot Springs are natural hot springs at the south end of Summer Lake in south-central Oregon. They are artesian mineral springs with four surface sources. The springs have complex water chemistry. The temperature of the main source is approximately 123 °F (51 °C) with a water flow of approximately 20 US gallons (76 L) per minute. Over the years, the site has been developed as a rustic family bathing and relaxation resort. The hot springs are 124 miles (200 km) southeast of Bend, Oregon, near the small town of Paisley, Oregon.
Manby Hot Springs, also known as Stagecoach Hot Springs are thermal springs located near the town of Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico. The springs discharge into three rock pools with sandy bottoms located near the ruins of an old bathhouse and a historical stagecoach stop.
Gold Strike Hot Springs, also known as Goldstrike Hot Springs, Nevada Hot Springs and Gold Strike Canyon Hot Springs are a group of hot mineral water springs near Hoover Dam on the Arizona/Nevada border near historic Boulder City.
Bartine Hot Springs also known as Bartine Ranch Hot Springs are geothermal hot springs located in the Antelope Valley of the Nevada high desert 40 kilometers northwest of the town of Eureka.
Rogers Warm Spring is a geothermal spring located in Clark County, Nevada near the town of Overton.
Crystal Springs hot springs is a system of geothermal springs and seeps near Ash Springs, located at the site of a ghost town, Crystal Springs, Nevada. Several marshes and springs are located along the White River.
Soldier Meadows hot spring system is a group of hot and warm springs near the town of Gerlach, Nevada.
Spence Hot Springs are a group of geothermal springs located north of the town of Jemez Springs, New Mexico, in the Valles Caldera National Preserve.
Breitenbush Hot Springs, also known as Breitenbusher Hot Springs, is a thermal mineral spring system along the Breitenbush River near the historic town of Breitenbush, Oregon, United States.
