As a Utah native, I’ve visited most, but not all of Utah’s 12 hot springs. They are a super fun place to go for a day trip with family and friends and many of them are completely free and conveniently located right along the Wasatch front. So, check out this complete list of all 12 hot springs in Utah.

Northern Utah

#1: Crystal Hot Springs
Honeyville, Utah

These popular springs were established as a public pool in 1901. These hot springs contain the highest mineral content of any hot spring in the world. Some of the pools can get up to 134 degree Fahrenheit. There is an entrance fee and no one is allowed to swim outside of regular business hours. We used to camp at Crystal Hot Springs and catch crawdads in the nearby river when I was little, but I guess they don’t allow camping anymore. To learn more, click here.

#2: Old Indian Hot Springs
Corrine, Utah

What might appear as a graffitied garbage heap is a natural hot spring located about 6 miles west of Corinne, Utah. This natural hot spring consists of three rectangular cement pools surrounded by plywood. Although, unsavory to the eye, the water is rich with minerals. Before the 2020 earthquake, the water averaged 104 degrees Fahrenheit. However, after the earthquake, the temperature has increased to about 113 degrees. If you’re brave enough to take a dip, you’ll be rewarded with a very, very warm bath. To learn more, click here.

#4: Fifth Water Hot Springs
Spanish Fork, Utah

Sometimes called Diamond Fork Hot Springs, this popular hot spring is located up Diamond Fork Canyon. You can hike in from the top or the bottom and it’s about 4 miles out and back. All ages are welcome and is free to the public. The pools can get up to 111 degrees Fahrenheit, but there are several pools with varying degrees of hot and cold. There are no bathrooms to change into your swimming suit near these pools, so just wear your swimming suit under your clothes. Click here to learn more.

#5: Homestead Crater Mineral Dome
Midway, Utah

This 10,000-year-old geothermal hot spring sits beneath a 55-foot tall beehive-shaped limestone rock formation and is located on the Homestead Resort property in Midway, Utah, according to gohebervalley.com. It is a one-of-a-kind experience to swim in this mineral-rich water that maintains an average of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and is 65 feet deep. However, this unique experience isn’t free. It will set you back about $15 for a 40-minute swim and reservations are required. To learn more, click here.

Central Utah

#6: Meadow Hot Springs
Meadow, Utah

These fun hot pools are located pretty close off of I-15 near Fillmore, Utah. They are the perfect pit stop for a quick dip. There are two main pools and you can park right next to them. Our family loves taking a swim at the Meadow Hot Springs whenever we’re passing through. The springs are located on private property, but the land owners allow free access. So, make sure you are respectful and clean up after yourself. To learn more, click here.

#7: Red Hill Hot Springs
Monroe, Utah

These small and relatively unknown hot springs are located in Monroe, Utah. There are two very small pools and one larger pool that can accommodate several people. These hot springs are free and a perfect alternative to visiting the Mystic Springs Hot Springs nearby which are quite expensive (see below). To learn more, click here.

#8: Mystic Hot Springs
Monroe, Utah

Touted as the best “hippie hot springs in the West”, this resort provides soaking pools and cast iron bathtubs for those willing to pay. A two-hour soaking pass will set you back $25. However, if you’re looking for a unique Utah experience, it might be worth the money. Water temperatures remain between 99 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. To learn more, click here.

#9: Baker Hot Springs
Delta, Utah

Located in the middle of nowhere near Delta, Utah, Baker Hot Springs is a local favorite. Three concrete tubs of hot mineral water adjacent to a lava field are constantly filled with people looking to take a dip. Temperatures run from extremely hot to lukewarm so visitors can soak to their liking. To learn more, click here.

Southern Utah

#10: Veyo Pool Crawdad Canyon
Veyo, Utah

Located in sunny southern Utah, Veyo Pool Hot Springs is a family hot spring that remains around 95-98 degrees. The large pool is filled daily with geothermal mineral water. It basically looks like a community pool but with the benefits of a hot spring. Next to the pool is a river that has multiple warm springs that run into it. As a result, there is a large population of crawdads. For $16 you can access the canyon to swim in the pool, catch crawdads, play in the river, rock climb and hike. To learn more, click here.

Western Utah

#11: Blue Lake
Wendover, Utah

On the very western edge of Utah near Wendover, you’ll find this beautiful geothermal lake. Naturally heated water comes out of the ground from the bottom of the lake at about 85 degrees. This lake is super popular for scuba divers and fishermen. Although not super well-maintained, its surrounding are gorgeous and worth a visit. While you are there, drive about one hour south and explore Goshute Cave. You won’t regret it. To learn more about Blue Lake, click here.

#12: Gandy Warm Springs
Gandy, Utah

About two hours west of Delta, Utah, you’ll find warm spring pools, a small waterfall and a cool cave all in one! You can park right next to these pools and start swimming. The water is super clear and it’s literally an oasis in the middle of the desert. The water remains around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so it might be a little bit cold if visiting during the winter. Due to its remote location, it’s not as heavily trafficked as some of the other hot springs, but it’s definitely worth the visit. Most visitors say it’s one of the best warm springs they have ever been to. To learn more, click here.
