Stinking Hot Springs are geothermally heated natural springs located in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The springs are located about 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Bear River City, near Utah State Route 83 northwest of Corinne. Locally known as Stinky Springs, the site is one of four hot springs located along the Wasatch Range near the eastern border of the county. The source of the "stink" is pungent hydrogen sulfide gas that emerges with the water.
Insider tip — Located along the Ogden River gorge just east of downtown Ogden, these accessible roadside hot springs sit within a narrow canyon carved by glacial runoff. The sulfurous iron-rich water stains the rocks a vivid ochre, and multiple rock pools allow bathers to choose their preferred temperature. The springs are popular with Utah locals year-round, especially dramatic when snow dusts the canyon walls above. Arrive early on weekends to secure the best soaking pools.
