Dense, salty water — you float without effort.
Reese River Hot Springs stands alongside its namesake waterway in central Nevada, a remote stretch of the state where the Reese River winds through high desert valleys between mountain ranges rarely visited by travelers. This resort-style facility draws on sodium-chloride geothermal water that surfaces in a landscape shaped by the same Basin and Range tectonics that have fractured Nevada's crust and allowed heat to rise close to the surface.
The water temperature of 35 °C is comfortably warm, and the near-neutral pH of 7.5 makes for a gentle immersion experience. The sodium-chloride mineral composition contributes a softening, subtly saline quality to the water — a sensation that distinguishes these desert springs from the sulfurous or iron-rich alternatives found elsewhere in Nevada. Bathing beside the Reese River, with its cottonwood groves and the hum of central Nevada's wide-open landscape, offers a sense of solitude that is increasingly rare.
