Riparian Hot Springs
I lived in Elko, NV. The spring through fall of 2007. Yes, there are hot springs. On the on the north side of the Humboldt river. And yes, it is on private property. I am talking about the side side of the river. Towards the hot hole spring. I saw hot springs water. Flowing out of the south Humboldt River Bank. On the hot hole spring side of the river. Over by an old hot springs well head. On the Noth side of the hot hole spring. Outside the fenced-in area for the hot hole spring. On the side of the hot hole spring facing the river. I followed the old insulated pipe or hose. North to the river bank. From the hot springs well head. And I looked down to my right. There should be an outcropping. On the south side river bank. With white to tan looking soil. And to left of the outcropping on the river bank. The outcropping or river bank. Should be an area. Of the river bank going inwards towards the south side. To the hot hole spring area.You should see crystal clear flowing water. That looks like flowing glass. Coming out of the river bank. I guessed the temp of that water. It is roughly 130 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. I could barely hold my hand. In that hot springs water. for maybe three seconds at the most. And facing the north. I am looking to my right. And I saw small metal buildings. Kind of near the river. There is an old pavment tub. You can see walking. Towards the small metal buildings. Near the river. There is more hot springs water seeping. Out the ground. In that area also. I am hope I am right going off my memory of living in Elko, Nevada. I also know a lot of info about hot springs of northern Nevada. Sorry, my English is not the greatest. But if you have any questions, just ask.
The are hot springs along the Hot Hole side of the Humboldt river. You can’t actually bathe in them since the area is fenced off. I was able to take this video holding my phone above the fence.
This hot springs is on private property and there was no entrance. I was not able to tell anything about the site because it has no access.
The homeless encampment was all I saw ! No access to the hot springs! Don’t waste your time !
Good but not great
