About South Sulphur Spring
South Sulphur Spring offers a raw, earthy soak surrounded by Utah’s rugged landscape. This warm spring bubbles from the ground with a distinct sulfur aroma, inviting you to immerse in its natural mineral-rich waters. Its primitive character means you experience the spring in its unspoiled state, connecting deeply with nature.
Getting There
Access to South Sulphur Spring requires some effort, as it lies off the beaten path in Beaver County. You’ll need a sturdy vehicle to handle rough dirt roads, followed by a short hike through uneven terrain. Parking is limited near the trailhead, so plan accordingly and prepare for a bit of adventure before reaching the pools.
What to Expect
The water is warm but varies with the season, maintaining a soothing temperature infused with a strong sulfur scent. The area is quiet and undeveloped—no facilities or maintained pools—so you’ll witness the spring in its untouched form. Crowd levels are generally low since few make the trek, allowing for a peaceful, private soak.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during spring or fall to avoid summer heat and winter cold, which can affect water comfort and access. Bring sturdy footwear, water, and a towel; there are no amenities nearby. Respect the environment by packing out all trash, and be prepared for primitive conditions common to Utah swimming holes.
