Hot springs
Ash Springs is home to naturally occurring hot springs.[3][4][5][6] The hot springs are located on BLM land. The water emerges from several springs at a temperature of 97 °F/36 °C,[5] and cools to 95 °F/35 °C as it flows into a large mineral water soaking pool approximately 15 feet in diameter.[4] The pool is a known habitat for Naegleria fowleri. A young boy contracted the parasite while swimming in July 2023. He died several days later.[7]
