Black Rock Hot Springs

Accessing Black Rock Hot Springs, Nevada means traveling across the Playa—an ancient dry lake bed within the Black Rock Desert–High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area. This public land is commonly dry—cracked after baking in extreme high desert temperatures—but is completely impassible when wet. If conditions are dry and the Playa is safe to access, do as the pioneers did and look for the pointed black rock formation on the horizon. The hot springs are accessed directly beneath this age-old landmark, and can be accessed via a sandy dirt road. Here, visitors will find a large blue pool of natural hot spring water, surrounded by reeds and wetlands.
