Paradise Valley Hot Spring — Attraction in Winnemucca

I stopped by on October 4th 2022 ...there was an old cooter out there in his van with his wife ... they kind of hid in their van when I drove up... I soaked in the tub for a little while.. it was pretty hot and it was a hot day.. so not a great combination... but it felt good for a little while and then I cooled off in the creek which is cool water and actually felt better than the hot water in the middle of the day ... there is a little bit of stuff floating in the water but generally seemed clean... not too difficult to get there... the gravel road is not very bumpy so you can drive about 40 mph up until the final 300 yards or so or it gets dusty very dusty... I was wondering if this sand was getting getting too soft so I might get stuck... but I made it ... Just don't slow down in the final stretch...

5 stars given that it's the best hot springs anywhere in the region (that I know of). Certainly there are even better hot springs elsewhere but this one is pretty good and it's free. As other reviewers say, do not turn off Shelton Road when Google maps says to do so, rather continue straight and turn off when you see a pull off; it's about 200 feet off Shelton Road and chances are other cars will be there to help indicate the location, which...

Always beautiful. Truly a hidden gem in Paradise Valley NV. No shade, no trees, but it's in the desert so what do you expect? Haha, it has very fine dust when driving so be prepared for that. No campground, no firepit, no bathrooms, no trashcans, no grills, so please keep this in mind if camping. It's a small area so not a place for a giant get together. TAKE YOUR TRASH WITH YOU WHEN LEAVING PLEASE....
