Carson Hot Springs

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.
