About Indian Springs

Indian Springs is a warm, soothing spring nestled within Nevada’s Tahoe National Forest. Its inviting 78°F waters offer a gentle warmth that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding forest’s cool air. The small swimming area creates an intimate spot to relax and connect with nature in this remote part of the state.

Getting There

You’ll find Indian Springs just off I-80, accessible via a short 5-minute walk from a small, limited parking area. The path is easy but rustic, setting the tone for a peaceful visit away from the bustle of more developed hot springs in Nevada.

What to Expect

The spring’s quiet atmosphere makes it a tranquil retreat, often with few visitors around. Its warm, clear water is perfect for soaking, and the primitive setting means you won’t find any facilities—just the calm woods and the gentle flow of the spring. Clothing optional, adding to the liberated feel of the spot.

Tips for Visitors

Visit year-round when crowds are minimal, but be prepared for potentially chilly weather outside the water. Bring any essentials you need, as there are no amenities or fees listed. Respect the natural setting by packing out all your trash and maintaining the peacefulness of this unique Nevada swimming hole.
