2026 Hot Springs in Nevada
We’ve cataloged 6 hot springs in Nevada, from 3 free & primitive pools to 1 resort experiences across the Sierra & California Desert.
Nevada is the under-the-radar hot springs state — quiet desert soaks, almost no crowds, and a reputation for rough access roads that keeps the day-trippers away. We've cataloged 6 Nevada hot springs ranging from the iconic free pools at Spencer, Diana's Punchbowl, and Gold Strike Canyon to the bookable David Walley's resort. Most are free, primitive, and remote — bring a high-clearance vehicle, a topo map, and pack out everything. Spring and fall are the best windows; summer pools near Las Vegas and the Mojave can hit unsafe surface temps during the day.
October–November = warm pools + cool nights; bring traction for icy access roads.

Deal-breakers
Carson Hot Springs Resort
Carson City, NV
A 150-year-old bathhouse channels mineral water from a 121°F artesian well into outdoor pools, cedar soaking rooms, and an adjacent taproom/restaurant trio dubbed the Carson City Triathlon.
David Walley’s Resort
Genoa, NV
Since 1862 this Genoa landmark has paired private stone tubs and a lap pool with mountain-view cabanas, a steakhouse, and condo-style villas minutes from Lake Tahoe’s south shore.
Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs
Dyer, NV
A concrete soaking tub and warm wildlife ponds sit beneath Boundary Peak on the Nevada–California line. Stargazing is unreal thanks to Bortle Class 1 skies, and the artesian well feeds the tub with a steady 105°F flow.
Ruby Valley Hot Springs
Ruby Valley, NV
A network of azure pools shimmers in the marshes south of Ruby Lake, offering wide-open views of the Ruby Mountains and a short boardwalk leading to the 30-foot main pond.
Spencer Hot Springs
Austin, NV
Cowboy tubs overlooking Big Smoky Valley let you dial in the temperature by swinging the 130°F feeder pipe in or out. Sunset views over the Toiyabe Range and frequent wild-burro sightings make it a classic stop along U.S. 50.
Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center
Reno, NV
This 1857-era bathhouse at the base of Mount Rose offers infrared saunas, aromatherapy steam, and private soaking rooms fed by mineral water rich in silica, lithium, and calcium carbonate.
