Hawkins and Markleeville Peaks overlook this rustic park where water from six natural hot springs is caught and routed into one large soaking pool. The water issues from the earth at 140 degrees F. and is cooled to 102-104 degrees F. for the hot pool. There is very little sulfur in the water and the main ingredient is sodium carbonate. There is a cooler swimming pool adjacent to the hot pool.
Lifeguards are on duty.
Suit and towel rentals are available. The hot springs are open year-round. Saturday and Sunday. The hot springs are always closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. In the winter, it is best to call ahead for weather and road conditions.
