About Alkali Flat Hot Springs
Alkali Flat Hot Springs invites you to soak in warm, mineral-rich waters nestled in the stark Nevada desert. These primitive hot springs offer a raw, historic atmosphere, remnants of a 1930s spa now faded into the ghost town of Alkali. The two inviting tubs provide a quiet retreat surrounded by expansive BLM land and desert solitude.
Getting There
You can drive right up to Alkali Flat Hot Springs, making access easy with no hiking required. Parking is limited, so arrive early to secure a spot. The springs sit on private land open to visitors, blending accessibility with an undeveloped, authentic experience.
What to Expect
The pools average a soothing 103°F, perfect for soaking year-round in this arid landscape. Expect a primitive setting with no amenities other than the tubs themselves. The atmosphere feels remote and tranquil, though limited parking and occasional visitors mean it’s not completely isolated. The springs are unofficially clothing optional.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during weekdays or off-peak hours for more solitude, especially since parking is scarce. Bring water, snacks, and be prepared for the lack of facilities; carry out all trash to preserve the site’s natural state. There are no fees, but respect for the land and privacy is essential when enjoying these primitive hot springs in Nevada.
