About Trego Hot Springs
Trego Hot Springs offers a rare chance to soak in steaming, mineral-rich waters right in the heart of Nevada’s vast Black Rock Desert. This warm spring features a long, shallow trench where water bubbles up at around 187°F, inviting you into an authentic, rustic experience far from modern comforts. The natural setting feels untouched, giving you a peaceful retreat under open skies.
Getting There
The springs are accessible by vehicle, with no hiking required, making them one of the more approachable hot springs in Nevada despite their remote location. Parking is limited, so arriving early helps secure a spot. Located off-road, a high-clearance vehicle can be beneficial, but the drive remains relatively straightforward.
What to Expect
You’ll find no developed facilities here—no changing rooms or restrooms—just a primitive, clothing-optional soaking area surrounded by desert wilderness. The shallow trench pools are warm but can cool quickly, so prepare for fluctuating temperatures. The area remains quiet due to its remote setting, often welcoming just a few visitors at a time, emphasizing solitude and connection with nature.
Tips for Visitors
Visit year-round but aim for cooler months to avoid the desert heat outside the water. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and supplies as there are no amenities. Respect the clothing-optional policy and pack out all trash to preserve this raw Nevada swimming hole experience. No fees apply, but access is limited—arriving early ensures a peaceful soak.
