About Midway Hot Spring

Midway Hot Spring is a natural hot spring in Utah.

At that temperature it's temperature unrecorded — check current conditions and always test the water before getting in.

Plungeworthy rates Midway Hot Spring 5.4/10 — if you're passing. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.

What you'll find

A 55-foot beehive of limestone with a skylight at the top and a 90–96°F, 65-foot-deep mineral pool inside — the only warm scuba dive in the continental U.S., and the strangest soak in Utah. Snorkels, paddleboard yoga, and plain floating all run by reservation inside the dome.

Where it is

Before you go

The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
