Hot Springs in Arizona

Arizona's hot springs are mostly in the Sonoran Desert and depend heavily on underground geology. Ringbolt (Arizona) Hot Springs in Lake Mead National Recreation Area requires a 2-mile hike from the lake shore — a series of pools in a canyon that sometimes floods. Agua Caliente Park in Tucson has a warm spring-fed pond in a county park. The Verde River near Camp Verde has warm springs accessible only by kayak or canoe — a multi-day float trip through the Prescott and Tonto national forests. Tonopah Veterans Oasis Park has free soaking pools open to the public. Most Arizona springs are seasonal or require technical access.

Always test water temperature before soaking. Some natural hot springs exceed 150°F and are dangerous. Never soak alone in remote sites. Explore all hot springs on the Trek4Free map →
