Meadow
Hot Springs
Millard County, Utah
After a several half-hearted attempts on our frequent drives between Cedar City and Alpine, we were finally able to find Meadow Hot Springs.
Apparently the new owner of the springs has been working hard to make it more accessible to the public. There is a new fence with an open gate followed by a ¼ mile rock-lined pathway to the main pool, which is filled with crystal clear water bubbling up from a seemingly bottomless hole.
The water is warm enough to keep you comfortable in the winter, but cool enough to jump into without burning yourself. I've been told that many people scuba dive in the depths of the cave at the bottom of the pool, and a few have returned floating face down after hitting their head and drowning.
Use caution if you bring children. Without scuba gear there's no way you could save them if they sank into the black hole.
Because Meadow Hot Springs is so close to the Interstate it is an ideal way to break up a long drive. Keep in mind though; this is private property. If you decide to leave your trash and make it undesirable, the owners could easily post "no trespassing" signs and you could ruin it for everyone. Because of our fear of attracting too many visitors, we will not be posting directions to this site.
