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]

Location

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]

History and description

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]

Water profile

The hot mineral water emerges from the ground at a rate of 50+ gallons per minute at 105°F.[3]
