About Sou Hot Springs
Sou Hot Springs offers a raw, authentic soak deep in the rugged landscapes of Pershing County, Nevada. This warm spring invites you to connect closely with nature, its mineral-rich waters steaming gently against the stark desert backdrop. The primitive setting preserves a truly natural experience among Nevada’s diverse hot springs.
Getting There
Reaching Sou Hot Springs requires some planning and a bit of adventure. You’ll drive on remote, unpaved roads, so a high-clearance vehicle helps. There is no formal parking lot, but space near the spring is available for a few vehicles. Expect a short walk over uneven terrain to access the pools.
What to Expect
The spring pools are naturally formed, offering pleasantly warm waters that vary with the season. The surroundings feel wild and quiet, with minimal facilities—no developed bathhouses or amenities, just earth and water. You can enjoy an intimate, peaceful experience away from crowds common at more commercialized Nevada swimming holes.
Tips for Visitors
Visit in cooler months for more comfortable soaking, as summer heat can be intense. Bring water, snacks, and sturdy shoes for the approach. There are no fees or official regulations, but leave no trace to protect the fragile environment. Cell reception is limited, so prepare accordingly before heading out to Sou Hot Springs.
