🧭EXPLORE SOUTHERN UTAH

A hot spring in the middle of a cow field? Yup. Welcome to Utah folks.

Meadow Hot Springs has 3 natural pools. One is deep and is the hottest of the pools. The middle one we have had so much fun in. The kids jump in, the water is more lukewarm, and it is not as deep. The 3rd, though considered a hot spring, is cold enough there to have fish living in it.

💦 There are no bathrooms and the pools are a short walk from the main parking area. The pools do get deep. So if you’re taking kids, please take a life jacket. The main pool is around 100 degrees, so you can go in the winter and be comfortable.

 We love to stop at The Creamery for an ice cream after we soak. This is a great day trip from Southern Utah for the family!

This is private property. Please note that this location is on private property. Respect the land, take your garbage with you, and make a donation!

Have you traveled up the I15 and soaked in the cow field?
