Man soaking in Bog Hot Springs Nevada

Bog Hot Springs – Humboldt County, Nevada

October 30, 2022 By //  by Sean Jarvis

While Nevada hosts hundreds of hot springs across its expansive landscape, Bog Hot Springs is known to be one of the most ideal spots. Due to its secluded location on public land, there is minimal development and no amenities in the area, allowing wildlife to be plentiful.

It’s situated in northwest Nevada just south of the Oregon border. Bog Hot Springs are located between the Pueblo Mountains and Steens Mountain, giving visitors a picturesque view of the natural landscape.

Created by damning a creek that is fed with hot spring water, this site has a series of mineral pools with varying temperatures. With their terraced walls and sandy bottoms, these hot springs are a luxurious gift from nature.

The source water flows at 120°F, feeding into the creek, and cooling down the further away it travels. This allows visitors to find the perfect temperature for themselves!

The largest pools at Bogs Hot Springs are at the north end of the creek and between 105°F and 115°F. The smaller ones are between 90°F and 105°F. The mineral water that fills the hot spring pools is crystal clear, constantly being replenished by the strong flow coming from the source.

While you may not always have the place to yourself, the creek is long enough that even with other visitors you can still enjoy your own private hot spring pool.

While Bog Hot Springs does not have a designated spot for RVs or tents, camping is permitted in the area. There is no fee to visit the springs or stay in the area, allowing you to spend your money on other adventures while visiting the “Sagebrush State”. This location also has no cell phone service due to its remote location, so plan accordingly.
