Old Indian Hot Springs

Old Indian Hot Springs is an undeveloped thermal soaking place in Box Elder County, Utah, known for simple thermal mineral pools. Planning should reflect its rural character, minimal to absent facilities, and informal access. The most comfortable period is generally May through October, when northern Utah weather is milder than winter cold and summer heat. Winter visits can be harsh, while summer afternoons can be hot and exposed. Daytime arrival allows time to assess road conditions, parking space, water conditions, and other users before settling in. The site is reached by local roads, with informal parking near the access point and an informal final approach on foot. Parking space is limited, so early arrival on mild weekends is practical. No public transport serves the site, so private transport is needed. Surfaces are natural earth, mud and gravel, which can be soft, uneven, or slippery near warm water. Wear sturdy footwear for walking and sandals that can get wet. There are no toilets or showers expected, and no developed services. Bring drinking water, towels, sun protection, and bags to carry out all trash. Water is natural thermal mineral water in simple pools, with variable levels and clarity by season and maintenance. Test footing and water comfort carefully before full immersion, avoid submerging the head, and limit soak time. The setting is generally quiet with low visitor numbers, but privacy is variable in an open rural area. Because services are limited, tell someone your plans, keep valuables minimal, and be prepared to change plans if access, parking, or conditions are unsuitable.
