About This Spring
## Overview Carson Hot Springs is a well-established hot spring resort located in Carson City, Nevada, drawing on naturally heated geothermal water that has been enjoyed by visitors for well over a century. The hot springs sit along Old Hot Springs Road, a name that speaks to the area's long history as a geothermal destination. Carson City lies within the western Nevada basin-and-range region, where deep fault lines allow groundwater to circulate far below the surface, picking up heat from the earth's interior before rising back up as hot mineral water. The facility operates as a paid hot spring resort featuring indoor private soaking pools fed by the natural geothermal source. Amenities include towel and locker service, on-site dining options, a brewery, and various discount packages including swimming cards and money-saving deals. The site undergoes regular upgrades and maintenance, keeping the experience comfortable and well-managed. Whether you're looking for a relaxing soak after a day exploring the Sierra Nevada foothills or a dedicated hot spring outing, Carson Hot Springs offers a convenient and full-service geothermal bathing experience. ## Directions Carson Hot Springs is located at **1500 Old Hot Springs Road, Carson City, Nevada 89706**, just off Highway 580. **From Hampton Inn & Suites Carson City:** 1.
