Three cement-walled tubs sit beside a sulfur-rich geothermal spring at the base of Little Mountain, west of Corinne in Box Elder County. The land is private, but the owner has allowed free public use with no facilities. Water in the tubs is reported at about 108-113F and carries a strong hydrogen sulfide smell, with a health department finding that it does not meet bathing standards.

Checked 22 Oct · updated daily
Access is informal permission from the private landowner and could be withdrawn. A 2026 visitor report describes a screen wall and large dirt parking area. No closure notice found for 2025-2026 (checked 2026-10-18).
Hydrogen sulfide gas dissolves in the water and gives it a strong sulfur smell. A covered bathhouse near the springs was demolished around 2000 after a fatal incident. Avoid putting your head underwater, stay out of the hottest water and keep soaks short. The Utah Department of Health has said the site does not meet bathing standards. Broken glass and litter have been reported.
